Upload a Plugin

Use this task to upload your product plugin from the system where your software distribution media containing the product plugin is kept to SDM.

Note:

If you have upgraded from a previous version of SDM, the (element manager) product plugin that manages your devices is uploaded and installed automatically on your system and appears on the Plugin Management Tool pane in the Element Manager Plugins table. If you installed SDM for the first time, no product plugins appear in the table.

1. On the menu bar, select Tools > Plugin Management
2. In the Plugin Management Tool pane, click Upload.
3. In the Upload Plugin dialog box, click Browse to navigate to the directory on your system where you keep the product plugin software package to upload to SDM.
   For example:

   sd1.0_Package.zip

4. In the Upload Plugin dialog box, click Upload.
   A dialog box displays showing the upload was successful and the plugin appears in the Element Manager Plugins table in the EM (element manager) tab.
