Installing the Cisco: Intersight PowerPack
Before completing the steps in this
By default, installing a new version of a PowerPack overwrites all content from a previous version of that PowerPack that has already been installed on the target system. You can use the Enable Selective PowerPack Field Protection setting in the Behavior Settings page (System > Settings > Behavior) to prevent new PowerPacks from overwriting local changes for some commonly customized fields. For more information, see the section on Global Settings.
For details on upgrading Skylar One, see the relevant Skylar One Platform Release Notes.
