Preparing to update the system

The procedure to prepare for an update is run once for each system.

To prepare the system for an update, follow these steps:

  1. In the management GUI, select Settings > System > Update System. The system automatically checks for updates and lists the current software level.
  2. Click Update.
  3. Select the test utility and update package that you downloaded. Enter the code level that you are updating to.
  4. Click Update.
    Wait for the files to upload.
  5. Select the type of update and click Finish.
    The test utility runs automatically and identifies any issues that it finds. Fix all problems before you proceed to step 6.
  6. When all issues are resolved, click Resume.
    The system is ready for a manual update when the status shows Waiting for user to initiate a manual upgrade.
