An Avalanche firmware package is a collection of files that allow the infrastructure server to support the infrastructure devices. You can create a firmware package with multiple firmware versions; however, it is important to remember that the larger the firmware package, the longer it takes to send to a server location.
To create a firmware package:
| 1 | Click Tools > Deployment Packages. |
The Deployment Package Manager dialog box appears.
| 2 | Click Add. |
The New Package Wizard dialog box appears.
| 3 | Enable Create a Firmware Update Package and click Next. |
The Select Infrastructure Firmware Support screen appears. The list shows all supported firmware. If you only want to see available firmware files, enable the Only show available firmware binaries included on server option.
If you have not imported any firmware, click the Import New Firmware button. This directs you to the Firmware Import dialog box. For more information on importing firmware, see Importing Firmware.
| 4 | To select firmware, open the appropriate folder. A list of available firmware versions appears. Enable the checkbox next to the firmware name. You can select any number of firmware versions from each folder. When you have selected the firmware files you want to send to the server, click Next. |
The Enter Package Name screen appears.
| 5 | Type the name of the package in the Package Name text box and click Next. |
Avalanche begins to create the deployment package. When it is finished, a Package Complete screen appears.
| 6 | Click Finish. |
Avalanche returns you to the Deployment Package Manager dialog box. You can now create a new package, edit a package, or delete a package as needed. Once you create a firmware package, you must deploy it to your servers. For information about deploying firmware packages, see Deploying Infrastructure Firmware.
