You can store multiple ISO upgrade files on a Cisco StadiumVision Director Remote server. The files will be displayed with a sequence number and the ISO filename in the TUI upgrade utility for you to select which file to install.
Disk Maintenance
There is no automatic aging of ISO upgrade files, but Cisco StadiumVision Director Release 3.1 introduces a utility to delete ISO upgrade files in the TUI.
You can see disk utilization for remote servers from the Management Dashboard on the centralized Cisco StadiumVision Director server, or you can use the TUI to get file system usage.
