Update an Image Streamer appliance

Prerequisites

  • Privileges: Infrastructure administrator.

  • Ensure that the post-upgrade Image Streamer appliance version is compatible with the HPE Synergy Composer version in use. For information about version compatibility between the Image Streamer appliance and HPE Synergy Composer, see HPE Synergy Image Streamer Support Matrix available at the Hewlett Packard Enterprise Information Library.

  • Download the update file of .bin format to your local computer from the appropriate Software Release for Image Streamer at http://www.hpe.com/downloads/synergy.
