How to verify the checksum for the DCE update file

[EcoStruxureIT]

Verify the Data Center Expert installer checksum on a Windows or Linux computer before you use it to perform a software update.

DO NOT run the installer if your calculated value does not match the published checksum for your DCE version and operating system.

Note: DCE 8.2.0 and newer use a SHA256 checksum. Previous versions use SHA1 or MD5.

Verify from Windows PowerShell

1. Download the Data Center Expert upgrade.zip file to your Windows machine.
2. Open PowerShell. The PowerShell.exe command starts a session in a command window. 
3. Navigate to the directory containing the downloaded .zip file.
4. Use the Get-FileHash PowerShell command to calculate the SHA256 checksum of the file and compare it against the published value in the table.
   Get-FileHash -Path .\upgrade-xxx.xx.zip -Algorithm SHA256
   
   

Verify from a Linux terminal

1. Download the Data Center Expert upgrade.zip file to your CentOS or RHEL machine.
2. Open a terminal window.
3. Navigate to the directory containing the downloaded .zip file.
4. Use the sha256sum terminal command to calculate the SHA256 checksum of the installer and compare it against the published value.
   sha256sum upgrade.zip
