Upgrading Fabric Manager (Legacy)

Use the following procedure to upgrade your version Fabric Manager.

Prerequisites

  • Upgrade ExtremeCloud IQ Site Engine to the later version before you upgrade Fabric Manager to the corresponding build number.
  • Ensure that both the current and target ExtremeCloud IQ Site Engine and Fabric Manager build numbers are the same.
  • Download the latest upgrade bundle from the Extreme Networks software download Portal.

  • Change Login Information from Anonymous to appropriate SCP credentials in the SCP Server Properties section in the Administration > Options > Inventory Manager > File Transfer tab.

  NOTE: After you deploy Fabric Manager and then register with ExtremeCloud IQ Site Engine, only the user credential associated with the Fabric Manager profile has SSH login access.

Upgrade Procedure

  5. Select on Drop files here or select to browse and select the previously downloaded upgrade bundle.
  6. Select the Upload button to initiate the bundle upload to the ExtremeCloud IQ Site Engine server.
