Planning an Upgrade From Repository
Use the Repository Upgrade Analysis option to analyze images in your software repository and
determine the impact to and prerequisites for a new software deployment. The option produces the
Upgrade Analysis report, which shows the required boot ROM, Flash memory, RAM, and access.
This option helps you answer such questions as:
• Does the device have sufficient RAM to hold the new software?
• Have the minimum ROM version requirements been met?
• Is the Flash memory large enough to hold the new software?
• Do I need to add Telnet access information for the device to the Device and Credential Repository?
• Does the module firmware on my IPX/IGX/BPX devices need to be upgraded?
Note View Permission Report (Common Services > Server > Reports) to check if you have the required
