Field Patch
Use the Field Patch page to add patches that the engineering team or the support team has provided you. A field patch is not a full patch and should be used only until a full patch is available. When you apply a field patch, you must disable all other updates for the appliance. Otherwise, the field patch can be overwritten.
To manage field patches:
Click Browse and browse to and select the field patch file you received from engineering or technical support, then click Open.
Click Install and follow the prompts to install the patch.
(Conditional) If you need to uninstall the field patch, select the patch you want to uninstall, then click Uninstall Latest Patch and follow the prompts.
Download a log file that includes details about the field patch installation by clicking Download Log File for the appropriate field patch.
Click Close to exit the Field Test Patch page.
WARNING:If you do not disable online updates, the field patch can be overwritten by updates.
To disable online updates and automatic updates until you apply a full patch:
