To update the system

Note: For more information about upgrading to the current version, see the Unitrends Upgrade Guide and the video tutorials Upgrading the Unitrends Appliance and Troubleshooting the Unitrends Appliance Upgrade.

1        Select Settings > System, Updates, and Licensing > Updates.

2        Look at the message on the System Updates tab and do one of the following:

     If you see the message The system is up to date, there are no updates to install. Click Exit to close and do not continue with these steps.

     If you see the message There are x available updates, continue with these steps.

3        To see details on the software packages that are being updated, click Show Update Details.

Packages can be selectively added or removed by dragging the packages to the right pane or the left pane respectively. Packages beginning with the word unitrends are required. It is highly recommended to install all available updates at all times.

4        Click Install to start updating software packages.

If there are software updates (like the kernel package) that require a reboot, you receive a message to this affect once updates have been installed. If not, a reboot is not necessary.

During installation you see progress messages, such as installing 5 of 20. If updates seem to stall, or if you receive a message indicating that a package could not be installed, it is fine to click Exit and then restart the update procedure.

5        After the installation, log out and refresh the browser before logging back in.
