Preparing updates

The Preparing Updates window shows the status of the process to prepare updates for installation. Use it to monitor update preparation.

1. Use one of the following two methods to display the Preparing Updates window:
   • If you are starting a new update:
     1. In the Software Update task, click Start New Software Update. The Start New Software Update window opens.
     2. Progress through the update process steps until this window is displayed.
   • If you are resuming an update process and this step is the one on which you left off:
     1. In the Software Update task, click View Updates in Progress. The View Updates in Progress window opens.
     2. Select the update process and click Resume Update. The Resume update in progress window opens.
     3. On the Resume update in progress window, click Resume. This window is displayed.
   Note: At any point in the processing of this step, you can optionally add brief notes to the update process. Use the notes to, for example, track questions that are generated during the process or comments about it that you want to reference later. You can view and update the notes for an update process during any step of the update process. The current notes are displayed in the Software instance, Zone, and Notes section, under Notes. Click Edit Notes to update the notes.
2. Wait for update preparation to complete.
3. When the preparation is complete, click Next to continue with the update process.
