Generate appliance package to import large driver files

You can generate a package for files that you download from a manufacturer's website or from a different source and for files that are larger than 1.5 GB. The appliance restore share directory is the repository for storing packages and files that you can import to the appliance.

The Package Management Export feature creates a .pkg file. The .pkg file contains the drivers and an .xml file with the same name as the .pkg file. The .xml file contains metadata about the drivers. A separate package is created for each selected driver package.

1.	On the left navigation pane, click Settings to expand the section, then click Package Management to display the Package Management page.

2.	Click Export SDA Packages to display the Export List page.

3.	Select the driver package to export.

4.	Select Choose Action > Export Selected.

Ensure that export completes before selecting a different export.

If you start an export of a package while an export process is in progress, the package waits in the queue. The packaging process can take a few minutes to several hours to complete, depending on the size and number of items in the package. The Status column indicates when each export completes.

Next, import the driver packages to the appliance.
