Before installing a system update for a virtual machine, query the version of the currently installed system. Use the current version to determine if the system layer requires an update. The virtual machine might be installed using an OVA that was already built with the latest system layer version.
Procedure
Log in to the virtual machine using the administrative user ID.
Query the version number of the system version by running the sys versions command.
Note:
Ignore the patch level reported by the above command.
Next Steps
If the above system version is already on the recommended system update, then no further action is required.
If the system version is lower than the recommended system update version, then continue with the process to download and stage the update.
