then verify if a newer version of an appliance update file is available to download from http://
www.hp.com/go/oneviewupdates. Before you install an appliance update, you can examine the
release notes to determine new features, restrictions, and whether or not you must restart the
appliance after you install the update.
NOTE: The release notes for an update are not available after you install the update and should
be printed off for future reference.
You manage appliance updates from the Settings→Actions→Update appliance menu or by using
the REST APIs. An appliance update is installed from a single file during the update process. You
can either download the file directly to the appliance or to another computer and then transfer the
file to the appliance.

The appliance online help provides information about using the UI or the REST APIs to:
• Determine if a newer appliance update is available. (Minimum required privileges: Read only,
Network administrator, or Infrastructure administrator)
• Update the appliance. (Minimum required privileges: Infrastructure administrator)
