12.0 Patching the Appliance

PlateSpin Transformation Manager Appliance provides built-in tools to help you apply field patches and patches for the Appliance. You should perform these tasks only from the Appliance Management Console, because native Linux tools are not aware of the configuration requirements and dependencies of the PlateSpin Transformation Manager services.

To access the Appliance Management Console:

  1. In a web browser, specify the DNS name or the IP address for the appliance with the port number 9443.

    https://<ptm-ipaddr-or-dns-name>:9443

    For example:

    https://10.10.10.1:9443

    or

    https://ptm.example.com:9443

  2. Specify the administrative username and password for the appliance, then click Sign in. The default users are vaadmin or root.

The Appliance System Configuration page displays the following options to help you manage patches to the current release version:
