14.5 Save Customized Default Theme Files

If you customized the theme in PlateSpin Transformation Manager, you might need to save a copy of your files, depending on how you applied your theme.

To make themes available for the replacement PTM Appliance:

  1. Do one of the following:

    • Custom theme in a separate folder: If you created a new custom theme (copied default themes to new directory and edited), the custom theme is saved in that directory in /vastorage on Disk 2. This directory will be available in the same relative path on Disk 3 (/vastorage_old) on the replacement PTM Appliance.

      After the upgrade, you must copy the new default theme files to a folder on the replacement Disk 2 (/vastorage) and re-create your custom theme by manually applying your settings to the new theme files. See Resetting Your Custom Theme after an Upgrade.

    • Customized default theme files: If you customized the default theme files in the default location (/vastorage/ptm/themes/ directory), your modified theme will be available in that same relative path on Disk 3 (/vastorage_old) on the replacement PTM Appliance.

      After the upgrade, you can reapply your custom settings to the new default theme files on the replacement Disk 2 (/vastorage). See Configurable Theme Components.

      Alternatively, you can use the old theme files as a guide to create a custom theme in a separate directory on the replacement Disk 2 (/vastorage). See Setting Up Your Custom Theme.

  2. Continue preparing for upgrade with the next task in the Table 14-1, Checklist for Preparing to Upgrade the PTM Appliance.
