Set Maintenance Window for Dynamic Software Updates
You can restrict dynamic software updates of dynamically-managed endpoint
systems to a scheduled maintenance window.
Typically, dynamic software updates occur as specified by the Software
Update Polling Interval (Admin > Site > Edit Site Provisioning Details >
Provisioning Settings). Enabling the maintenance window feature in the
RealPresence Resource Manager system overrides the Software Update
Polling Interval. The RealPresence Resource Manager system provisions the
maintenance window to the endpoints, and the endpoints hold their dynamic
software update requests until the maintenance window starts.
Some notes about this feature:
• It applies to dynamically-managed HDX and RealPresence Group systems
only.
• To avoid dynamically updating the software on all HDX or RealPresence
Group systems at the start of the maintenance window, the systems
randomize their dynamic software update requests.
To restrict dynamic software updates to a scheduled maintenance window
1 Go to Admin > Software Update > Dynamic Software Update.
2 Select either the HDX Series or Group Series tab.
3 Click Maintenance Window.
4 In the Maintenance Window dialog box, click Enable Maintenance
Window and set a maintenance window Start Time and either an End
Time or Duration.
Set the maintenance window start time to the endpoint’s system local
time, not the RealPresence Resource Manager system local time. For
example, if you set the maintenance window start time to 3am, the
maintenance window for each HDX system will start at 3am local time.
Therefore, the maintenance window for HDX systems in Buffalo, NY will
start at 3am EST; the maintenance window for HDX systems in Denver,
CO will start at 3am MST; and the maintenance window for HDX systems
in San Francisco, CA will start at 3am PST.
5 Click Save.
