Importing Software Versions and Hotfixes

You may import software or hotfixes that have been saved in your software download location. When software images are downloaded to the storage location specified during installation, they are not automatically added as an available option in the BFC. You must import the software version if you want a downloaded version to be available for grid creation and upgrades.

Note: Do not use the './aldo' script or manually unpack the rel-ald package. The BFC now replaces the ALDO functionality. If you use the ALDO script or manually unpack the rel-ald package, the BFC will not be able to import the software.

To import a software version or hotfix to the BFC

1. Select Versions from the left Menu.

   The Versions page appears.

2. Click the Add Version button denoted by a plus sign.

   The New Version dialog appears.

3. Click the arrow to expand the Version and show all hotfixes that have been downloaded for this Version.
4. Select the checkboxes next to the Version and/or hotfixes you want to import.
5. Click Import.

   The grid software version is imported from the download directory into the BFC. This will take several minutes when importing a Version. The Version will have an "Importing" state while this is in progress.
