Schedule an Upgrade

Configure an upgrade schedule for the local Universal Compute Platform image.
Note

Note

  • You can schedule an upgrade for the local node only. For clusters, you must configure an upgrade schedule for each node separately from that node.
  • You can upgrade only one node in the cluster at a given time.
  • The software image must be uploaded already to the local node.
  1. Go to Administration > System > Software Upgrade.
  2. Select Schedule.
  3. Select the Image that you want to use for the upgrade.
  4. From the Backup System to drop-down, select the destination for the backup file:
    • Local—Backup file is saved locally.
    • Flash—Backup file is saved to flash.
    • No Backup—No backup file is created.
  5. Assign the following details to the backup:
    • Backup Filename that you want to assign.
    • Timezone of the appliance.
    • Time of the upgrade in 24 hour format HH-MM.
    • Date of the upgrade in MM/DD format.
    Note

    Note

    When you supply a Date and Time that is in the past, the schedule is set for the following year at the specified date and time.
  6. Select Schedule.
Repeat this procedure on the other cluster nodes to schedule upgrades for those nodes.
