Endpoint Software Update Operations

Set Maintenance Window for Automatic Software Updates

You can restrict automatic software updates of dynamically-managed endpoint systems to a scheduled maintenance window.

Typically, automatic software updates occur as specified by the Software Update Polling Interval (Admin > Site > Edit Site Provisioning Details > Provisioning Settings). Enabling the maintenance window feature in the CMA system overrides the Software Update Polling Interval. The CMA system provisions the maintenance window to the endpoints, and the endpoints hold their automatic software update requests until the maintenance window starts.

Some notes about this feature:

It applies to dynamically-managed HDX and RealPresence Group Series systems only.

To avoid automatically updating the software on all HDX or RealPresence Group Series systems at the start of the maintenance window, the systems randomize their automatic software update requests.

To restrict automatic software updates to a scheduled maintenance window

1Go to Admin > Software Update > Automatic Software Update > Maintenance Window.

2In the Maintenance Window dialog box, click Enable Maintenance Window and set a maintenance window Start Time and either an End Time or Duration.

Set the maintenance window start time to the endpoint’s system local time, not the CMA system local time. For example, if you set the maintenance window start time to 3am, the maintenance window for each HDX system will start at 3am local time. Therefore, the maintenance window for HDX systems in Buffalo, NY will start at 3am EST; the maintenance window for HDX systems in Denver, CO will start at 3am MST; and the maintenance window for HDX systems in San Francisco, CA will start at 3am PST.

3Click Save.
