Pre-Upgrade Tasks

Copying Software Installation Packages to the System

When the system runs in split mode, the Upgrade Side has no access to the network, or internal data disks; therefore, if you need to download or copy any High Priority updates (hotfixes), installation packages, or disk images (for example, .msi files) to the system, put them on one of the disks you want to upgrade before you split the system. You might want to do so even before you run the Active Upgrade console.

Make note of the location of the installation packages so you can find them later.

If your installation packages are on CD-ROM, no action is necessary. You can access the CD/DVD drive on the Upgrade Side while the system is in split mode.

Configuring Windows Automatic Updates

When the system runs in split mode, the Upgrade Side has no access to the network. Windows Automatic Updates requires network access to download software updates; therefore, if you manage High-Priority updates (hotfixes) with Automatic Updates, you must use it to download all of the updates you need to the system before you split the system.

You can optionally configure Automatic Updates to automatically download the software updates for you; however, you must be able to install the updates on your own schedule, while the system is split.

To configure Automatic Updates

1.Open the Automatic Updates control panel (Figure 2-2).

2.Select Download updates for me, but let me choose when to install them.

3.Click OK to save the configuration.
