Next steps

1. Reboot the DSITV appliance after installing the update. On some occasions, the version number is not refreshed immediately after an

update. This action also updates the version number.

2. After rebooting the DSITV appliance, unregister and reregister the vSphere Client Plugin from the DSITV appliance’s CLI menu. This

action removes the old plugin and registers the new plugin to vCenter.

3. When Replay Manager Explorer is installed on a server with the Replay Manager Service, restart the Replay Manger Service after the

DSITV update completes.
