- Shut down all appliances and take snapshots
- Boot the Database appliance first, apply the patch, and reboot the appliance.
- Once the database appliance is booted up, boot the Hub, apply the patch, and reboot the Hub appliance.
- Boot each Collector, apply the patch, and reboot each Collector appliance.

- Use WinSCP to upload the patch from your desktop to the Stratusphere appliance based on the order documented above. Use friend/sspassword as credentials within WinSCP and upload the patch file within the default /home/friend folder.
