Applying Aria Suite Lifecycle Manager 8.18 Patch 7

Aria Suite Lifecycle Manager 8.18 Patch 7 dropped last week, let's apply it! Log into the Broadcom Support Portal and get it here.

You will also need the preparation script provided here. Once both of these have been downloaded you can SCP them up to /data on your ASLCM VM.

First, run the script, mine looks like this.

*** All prep steps are done ***

Next log into the ASLCM UI and go to Lifecycle Operations - Settings - Binary Mapping - Patch Binaries and ADD PATCH BINARY.

You can watch it progress here.

Once done you'll see it here.

Now let's apply it, go to Settings - System Patches and select NEW PATCH.

Select NEXT.

Select INSTALL, the install took about 15m and rebooted the VM. Once complete I logged into the ASLCM UI and confirmed the Patch was applied via the About page.

Hope this was helpful, enjoy!
