Enterprise Manager images

Hi,

 

 

I'm trying to understand if in v11.x there is a difference between a .iso image and a .im package.

 

 

If I upload an iso hotfix file via the gui in EM and then look in /share/em/images/hotfix I can see that the file gets renamed and now has an .im file extension.

 

 

Because I like to move images using scp between units in the DCs instead of downloading to my laptop and re-uploading them to devices (obviously) I have just been renaming them between iso and im file extensions and chmod/chown the files on the destination system to match the other files in the directories.

 

 

This seems to work, but I would like to know if I am doing something wrong.

 

 

Thanks

    Just worked out that you need to restart a process called swimd after the import:

     

     

    bigstart restart swimd

     

     

    This makes the newly copied images appear in the gui.
