Appliance upgrade management
Help | IQ-Series Appliance | Version 1.7.x
Use the Configuration > Upgrade Management page to keep the appliance up-to-date with the latest releases. You can check for, download, and install product upgrades from this page. The current appliance version and date of installation appear at the top of the page.
The appliance checks for available upgrades on a daily basis. You receive alerts regarding upgrade availability on the Status > General page. See Configuration and status information for information about these messages.
When a new upgrade is available, its version number, availability date, description, and status are displayed in the upper table with a status of Available. Clicking the icon in the Description column opens the Release Notes for that version.
The Action column contains icons that, when clicked, initiate the next appropriate action for an upgrade. For example, an available upgrade can be downloaded. An upgrade that has already been downloaded (and has a status of Downloaded) can then be installed. Note that after an upgrade is downloaded or installed, you must refresh the screen in order to change upgrade status.
Depending on your network bandwidth, download operations can take some time. You should note that upgrade installations initiate an appliance bypass condition and cause the appliance to reboot.
The Upgrade History table provides a record of upgrade releases that have been applied to the appliance, including version number, upgrade date, and status (e.g., successful or unsuccessful download and installation). The Action column contains icons that open the Release Notes for an installed upgrade or a download/installation log file. Note that the log icon is not enabled after a clean installation.
