2.2.2. Upgrade

The upgrade (or upgrade) is a version upgrade and significantly changes the GCenter and GCap.

Note

It is necessary for the administrator to read the Release Note before performing a version upgrade.

When applying a version upgrade to GCenter, it will be necessary to restart the GCenter manually at the end of the operation.

For a GCap version upgrade, simply load the version upgrade package into the GCenter. The rest of the actions will be on the GCap side (See GCap documentation.)

An upgrade increments the version number such as 2.3.5.101 to 2.3.5.102.

Note

Upgrades are done manually by the administrator; no automation is possible in the GUM menu.

Note

There are also upgrade packages that include hotfix fixes directly.

This allows you not to have to apply all hotfix after installing an appliance.

The GUI is described in the paragraph (see ../../05_GUI_presentation/05_7_web_interface_menu/05_7_3_administration/1_updates/2_ecran_software_update.).

For implementation, see the Installing of an upgrade.

2.2.2.1. Minor update case

For example, when moving from v2.3.5.101 to 2.3.5.101-hf1, there are two ways to perform the system update:

• applying only the HF1 patch

• applying an upgrade

These two solutions are equivalent.

2.2.2.2. In the case of a major update

For example, for the transition from v2.3.5.101 to 2.3.5.102, only the upgrade is applicable.

For implementation, see the Installing of an upgrade.

2.2.2.3. Upgrade path

The general rule for update paths is that it is necessary to be on the last patch before performing a version upgrade.

Otherwise, this will be notified in the Release Note of the relevant version.
