Schedule Device Updates Using the Drag-and-Drop Method

Step 2 Expand Device Manager to display the folder (or View) containing the devices that you want to update. Step 3 Click and drag the package from the details pane and drop it onto the folder containing the target devices.

Step 4 In the Package Distribution Wizard that appears, choose the devices you want to receive the Cisco VXC Manager package and click the arrow to move them to the Selected Devices list (use Ctrl-clickor Shift-clickto choose multiple devices), and then click Next.

Step 5 Depending on whether or not any of the devices you selected are serviced by a Remote Repository (for example, the Cisco VXC Manager package with the update is contained in a Remote Repository), complete one of the following:

•If no, the wizard prompts you to choose when the update should occur. Choose the time and date for the update, click Next, and then continue with Step 6.

•If yes, and you have set up your preferences to synchronize Remote Repositories, the wizard prompts you for the synchronization information. Enter the information, click Next, and then continue with step 6.

Step 6 When prompted to create the updates click Next.

Step 7 After the wizard notifies you that the updates have been created, click Finish.

To push the updated package to the clients, right-click the Cisco VXC 6215 devices you want to upgrade, and choose Reboot.
