Managing Appliances

6Click Upgrade. ETEMS confirms that the FTP site is reachable before it begins the upgrade operation. Upgrade results for each appliance are displayed in the Result column of the Upgrade Appliances table.

7Upgrading the software version on the appliance does not automatically update the ETEMS configuration. After the appliances have been rebooted, you can edit the ETEMS configurations to reflect the new software version running on the appliances (Edit > Multiple Configurations > Software Version).

The appliance will operate properly with the upgraded software regardless of whether the ETEMS configuration is updated to reflect the new software version. However, new configuration options will not be reflected in the Appliance editor until the ETEMS configuration is updated with the new software version.
