Add new firmware versions to the DataPower appliance manager

We can use the DataPower appliance manager to add a new firmware version to the DataPower appliance manager. Appliances that the DataPower appliance manager manages must have a 3.6.0.4 or higher firmware level.

        Servers > DataPower > Firmware > New.

  2. Select either Upload from local system, or Upload from remote system.

    If you select Upload from local system, the firmware version is uploaded to the DataPower appliance manager, from your local file system.

    If you select Upload from remote system . the firmware version is uploaded to the DataPower appliance manager, from a remote file system.

  3. Specify the fully qualified name of the file that you are uploading.

    If you do not know the fully qualified name of the file that you are uploading, you can use the browse function to search for the correct file.

  4. Optional: Add a description of this firmware version in the Comments field.

    You might want to use this field to provide information that differentiates this firmware version from other firmware versions that are stored on the local or remote system.

    After you enter your comment, click Apply.

  5. Click Submit.
