Updating HYCU 4.9.0 to 5.0.0

HYCU update 5.0.0 has just been released! Update your infrastructure!

Preparing for the update

Updating to HYCU 5.0.0 requires that you are already at least 4.9.0.

To be able to update your controller, you must first download the latest version available here: https://download.hycu.com/ec/v5.0.0/hycu-5.0.0-1488.qcow2

Next, connect to your Nutanix cluster and transfer the previously downloaded image as shown in the screenshot:

It is imperative that you name the image exactly like the file you just downloaded.

The preparation is complete, we can move on to the update.

HYCU Update

On your HYCU interface, click on the toothed wheel then on “Software Upgrade”:
