This article outlines how to upgrade the Arellia Management Server when your target machine is not connected to the Internet.

Note

The steps below require the use of PowerShell scripts which are disabled by default in Windows Operating Systems. To enable their use open an elevated PowerShell window and issue the command: Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned

For more information on the Set-ExecutionPolicy cmdlet you can refer to the Technet KB article Using the Set-ExecutionPolicy Cmdlet

Perform the following on an Internet connected machine:

  1. Download the attached Create-AMSOfflinePackage.ps1 PowerShell script
  2. Open a Windows PowerShell session
  3. Run the script using the -DownloadArelliaPackages command line argument

    1. You can optionally specify where the files will be downloaded with the -Path argument, by default C:\OfflinePackage will be used

    .\Create-AMSOfflinePackage.ps1 -DownloadArelliaPackages [-Path 'C:\Users\MyAccount\Desktop']

On your Arellia Management Server:

  1. Copy the ArelliaPackages directory that was created by step 3 above to your AMS instance
  2. Open the directory in Windows Explorer and right click on the Install-AMSOfflinePackage.ps1 script and select Run with PowerShell
  3. Open a browser to http://localhost/Ams/Setup and select the products that you wish to upgrade
  4. After the AMS installation has completed you are free to delete the ArelliaPackages directory from your AMS instance
