Installing an upgraded Guest OS Agent
You can install upgraded Guest OS Agents on virtual machines after updating the agent installation package in the FMC virtual appliance.
Before you begin 
You must have upgraded the Guest OS Agent installation package, either by deploying a new FMC virtual appliance or by importing the installation package to an existing virtual appliance from an ISO file.
Note: It's a good idea to take a snapshot of your virtual machine before installing the Guest OS Agent software in case you need to revert to an earlier version.
About this task 
The virtual machine will be restarted after the software has been upgraded, so make sure this is an acceptable time to take the virtual machine offline.
Note: If new software is available for both hosts and VMs, install the new host software first, then the new VM software.
You cannot upgrade the Flash Accel Guest OS Agent using the Windows Add/Remove option.
Steps 
1.
From the home page of the Flash Accel Management Console, click the wrench icon for the VM on which you want to install the upgraded Guest OS Agent and select Software > Upgrade.
You are prompted to confirm that you want to upgrade the Flash Accel Guest OS Agent.
2.
Click Yes.
A message displayed at the top of the home page notifies you when the operation is complete.
Result 
The Flash Accel Guest OS Agent is upgraded and the virtual machine is restarted.
