Upgrading the Flash Accel Management Console
You can upgrade the FMC on the ESXi server when a new virtual appliance becomes available.
About this task 
The new virtual appliance contains any upgrade packages for the Flash Accel Host and Guest OS Agents, as well as the software for the FMC. You should install the Flash Accel Host and Guest OS Agents on hosts and virtual machines when you are finished installing the FMC.
Steps 
1.
Download the latest FMC installation image, available as an OVA file, from the NetApp Support Site at support.netapp.com.

Note: You will want to assign a different host name and host IP address to the new FMC virtual machine. 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.
