Upgrading a Host or Guest OS Agent installation package from an ISO file
If you don't need to upgrade the Flash Accel Management Console, and only want to upgrade a Host or Guest OS Agent, you can import the agent upgrade package to the FMC virtual appliance from an ISO file. Once you have updated the FMC with the new package, you can install the agent software on the target hosts or VMs.
