I need help understanding the step by step procedure to do this below form website:

Download and Installation

You can download this patch by going to the VMware Patch Download Center, and choosing VC from the Search by Product drop-down menu.

1. Attach the VMware-vCenter-Server-Appliance-6.7.0.14000-9451876-patch-FP.iso file to vCenter Server Appliance CD or DVD drive.
2. Log in to the appliance shell as root and run the commands given below:
   1. To stage the ISO:
      software-packages stage --iso
   2. To see the staged content:
      software-packages list --staged
   3. To install the staged rpms:
      software-packages install --staged

This guide refers to an update of the vCenter appliance (VCSA). The commands must therefore be executed on the vCenter appliance shell which can be accessed via SSH. Alternatively, you can try to update VCSA via the Web GUI without running commands on the console.
