All locally-stored configuration backup files are removed during software upgrade. To preserve locally-stored files, download them prior to upgrading the ExtremeCloud IQ Controller software.
There is more than one way to put the upgrade image on ExtremeCloud IQ Controller:
  • Select a local upgrade image. Or
  • Click to display the Copy Upgrade Image dialog. For more information, see Copy Upgrade Image.

To perform an upgrade:

  1. Select an image file for the upgrade.
  2. Select Backup System Image To, selecting a destination location to back up the current image, creating a rescue image.

    Note

    It is a best practice to always create a rescue image.
  3. From the Upgrade field, select Now or Schedule. Then, click Upgrade Now or Configure Schedule.
