Installing Simplivity 4.0.1 u1

[giladzzz]

Hi

I have 5 new Simplivity nodes DL380 Gen10 they arrived with

version 4.0.1  (4.0.1.184) the new version is 4.0.1 U1 (  4.0.1.206)

can I  deploy these systems without factory reset just using

files from new download or do I have to re-image all node before I start.

Thanks

Hello @giladzzz 

Thank you for using Simplivity Forums. 

You can deploy the nodes with the image they currently have and later use the Update Manager to update to the latest version without the need of redeploying the nodes. 

Thanks,

Gustenar.

Hi

but they are completely new why should I work twice to install and then

upgrade it also means upgrading VMware and OVC.

If you want to use 4.0.1 U1 you can do so as well, but it will require doing a factory reset to 4.0.1 U1 image to the nodes and then deploying using 4.0.1 Deployment manager.
