Using the Management Server console, you can view the details of those Arctera InfoScale Operations Manager add-ons for which there is at least one applicable host in the domain.
You can download and install the add-ons in one of the following ways:
-
Download from Services and Operations Readiness Tools (SORT) website. In the Management Server console, upload the add-on to the repository using Upload Solutions, and then install.
-
Use the Management Server console to download and install the add-on.Note: If you have installed the Management Server package with the add-ons, then you can view the add-ons in the Repository view and directly install them. The Help add-on is not a part of the package. You need to separately download and install it.

When you upgrade an add-on which is installed on Management Server, the new version overwrites the old version. When you upgrade an add-on which is installed on the managed host, the old version is retained.
