Issue/Introduction
You want to upgrade Management center and do not have a local web server.
Resolution
You can upload Management Center (MC) "bcsi" image to itself to perform the upgrade. Here are the steps:
Download Management Center system image ".bcsi". You will need a Symantec account to download this system image.
Upload the system image to MC.
Go to Configuration->Files->Select Add Files->Upload the system image ".bcsi"
Copy the image path and you will notice the path is HTTPS and the port is 8082 as shown below.
Go to MC UI->Configuration->Files->highlight the target image-> Select Copy URL.
EX: https://<MC-ip-address or hostname>:8082/fs/download/cbe38597a0aa4bb3950826cf4ab18063
Modify the path to be HTTP and port 8080 because MC can only pull the image over HTTP, then copy it.
http://<MC-ip-address or hostname>:8080/fs/download/cbe38597a0aa4bb3950826cf4ab18063
Enable HTTP security access for port 8080, which is disabled by default. This is needed to permit MC to access itself using HTTP protocol and port 8080.
