Configure the Orchestrator Appliance for Updates

You can update a deployed Orchestrator Appliance with packages that VMware publishes. You can perform updates over the external Web, on your local area network, or from a CD-ROM.

Prerequisites

■	Download and deploy the Orchestrator Appliance.
■	Ensure that the appliance is up and running.

Procedure

On the Update tab, click Settings.

Set an update policy for the virtual appliance.

Option	Description
No automatic updates	The virtual appliance does not check for and install updates.
Automatic check for updates	The virtual appliance checks for updates at the scheduled time. If an update is available, it appears on the Update Status page.
Automatic check and install updates	The virtual appliance checks for updates at the scheduled time. If an update is available, the virtual appliance installs it.

If you select either Automatic check for updates or Automatic check and install updates, you can configure the scheduling. By default, the check occurs daily at 03:00 local time, as determined by your time zone settings.

Set up the update repository location.

The default is the URL that VMware configured. You might need to change the update source or location if you are updating inside a restricted local area network.

Option	Action
Use CD-ROM Updates	Insert the update CD-ROM in a drive that the virtual appliance can read. The update agent scans the CD drives to find the first update CD-ROM.
Use Specified Repository	Type the URL of the update repository for your appliance to check. If the URL requires authentication, provide a valid user name and password.

Click Save Settings.
