Upgrading the Flash Accel Management Console
When a new version of the Flash Accel Management Console (FMC) is available, you must replace the existing FMC virtual appliance (VA) with a new appliance by installing a new OVA file.
About this task 
Upgrading the FMC consists of installing a new FMC virtual appliance and connecting the new FMC to the vCenter Server.
Steps 
1.
Download the latest FMC installation image, available as an OVA file, from the NetApp Support Site at support.netapp.com.
2.
3.
Note: You will want to assign a different host name and host IP address to the new FMC virtual appliance. If you are using DHCP, this will happen automatically. If your network does not have a DHCP server, or if you do not want to use DHCP, you will need to have this new host information available for this step.
4.
Log into the new FMC according to the instructions in "Logging in to the Flash Accel Management Console for the first time."
5.
Click the Rediscover button from the Flash Accel Management Console to refresh the host and VM information.
6.
7.
After you finish 
If the OVA file contained updated Host Agent and VM Agent software packages, you should upgrade the Flash Accel software on existing hosts and virtual machines.
