2.5.2. Upgrade

Upgrading the GBox is a version upgrade involving significant changes to the solution.

When applying a system update, it is necessary to restart the system manually at the end of the operation.

An upgrade increments the version number, for example 2.3.5.101 to 2.3.5.102.

Note

Upgrades are carried out manually by the solution administrator; no automation is possible in the GUM menu.

Note

Administrators must read the Releases Note before upgrading.

Note

There are also upgrade packages that directly include the patches contained in the hotfixes.

This enables avoiding having to apply all the hotfixes after installing an appliance.

The graphical interface is described in the `Admin- GUM - Upgrade` screen of the legacy Web UI.

For instructions, see Installing an upgrade.
