Upgrading everRun Software

This topic describes how to upload an upgrade kit and then use the kit to upgrade everRun software.

To upgrade the system using an upgrade kit

1. In the everRun Availability Console, click Upgrade Kits in the left-hand navigation panel.
2. On the Upgrade Kits page, click the Add a Kit button beneath the masthead, which opens the everRun - Kit Upload Wizard.
3. In the everRun - Kit Upload Wizard dialog box, click Choose File (in Google Chrome) or Browse (in Firefox or Internet Explorer), and then browse to select a .kit file.
4. After you have selected a .kit file, click Upload or Finish (they perform the same function).The message Uploading file (DO NOT CLOSE WIZARD) appears while the file is uploading. The upload may require up to two minutes for a file stored locally, to ten or more minutes for a file stored over a network.

5. After the upload is complete, the message Kit uploaded successfully. Click OK to close the wizard.

   The Upgrade Kits page now lists the state and version number of the upgrade kit. The Upgrade and Delete buttons also appear with the Add a Kit button.

6. If more than one upgrade kit is loaded, select the one to use.
7. Click Qualify to qualify the kit. (This step is recommended, but not required.) After a minute or two, a message appears stating whether or not the kit qualified successfully. If the qualification succeeded, continue with the next step. If the qualification failed, load a different upgrade kit.

8. Click Upgrade to upgrade the everRun system.

   First, the everRun software upgrades and reboots the secondary PM. The newly upgraded PM becomes primary, and then the everRun software upgrades and reboots the other PM.
