Aria Suite Lifecycle Manager 8.18 Patch 3

Aria Suite Lifecycle Manager (ASLCM) 8.18 Patch 3 dropped last week, you can download it here, and review Release Notes here. Before applying it, be sure to review this KB. It includes a script to be run before applying Patch 3. Let's go!

We'll start by taking a Snapshot of the ASLCM VM in vCenter. Once done, download the script run in the KB.

Once downloaded, upload it to /data on your ASLCM VM, and follow the steps in the KB. When I run the script it looks like this.

After running the script, follow the remaining steps in the KB, mine looks like this.

In step 6 we SCP the 8.18 PATCH3 binary up to /data on the ASLCM VM. Once uploaded go into Lifecycle Operations - Settings - Binary Mapping - Patch Binaries - ADD PATCH BINARY. From there input Source Location /data and click DISCOVER. Once discovered, select it and click ADD.

You can watch progess via Requests.

Once done it will look like this.

Back in Settings - Binary Mapping - Patch Binaries it will look like this.
