Automatically download and install management console updates

Use the Automatic install management console option to automatically download and install the new or latest version of the update. When this option is selected, the management console checks every day for available updates, downloads, and installs the updates during the HPE StoreEasy Storage system maintenance window.

By default, the management console downloads and installs the updates at midnight based on the local time and time zone settings in the system during the maintenance window. You (Administrator or Operator roles) can modify the maintenance settings at any time.

Your system must be connected to the Internet for the management console to check for and download the latest version of the updates. If the Internet is not connected during the update check, the console logs an event in the Event log and displays it on the Activity page. When the Internet connection is re-established, the management console downloads and installs the latest version of the updates.

To set the automatic install option:

  1. Navigate to Settings > Management console updates.

  2. Click Update settings > Automatic install.

The management console updates are not installed until all active background tasks are completed.

During the update, the management console switches to maintenance mode. Maintenance mode prevents configuration corruption and data loss by not allowing any modifications to the system through the management console. In maintenance mode:

  • All users using the management console are logged out.

  • No users can log in during the update process.

  • Only the user initiating the update can view the update progress.
