Update Paths Guide

Updating Nasuni software

Introduction

Updating Nasuni components from your current software version to a target software version might require installing certain intermediate versions first. This is because certain versions have introduced new features that make them incompatible with earlier versions. We call these special intermediate versions “chokepoints“. Therefore, it is important for you to find and follow the appropriate update path for your current version.

Key Principle: Always update the NMC first, then update any Edge Appliances. The NMC must be able to manage all Edge Appliance versions in your environment.

Edge Appliance update paths

Mandatory Chokepoints

The following versions are required chokepoints. You must update to these versions before proceeding to later versions.

Step	Update To	Type	Notes
1	9.5.x	Chokepoint	Required for all versions before 9.5
2	9.9.5 or 9.10.2	Chokepoint	Required for all versions before 9.10.2
3	9.12.x	Chokepoint	Required for all versions before 9.12
4	9.15.x	Chokepoint	Required for all versions before 9.15.4
5	10.x+	Current	From version 9.15.4+, update directly to version 10.0.x and later.

Specific update paths

Determine the software version your Edge Appliance is running.

9.15.x or later

You are on the current update path. Update directly to the next version:

From version	You can update to version
9.15.4+	10.0.x
10.0.x	10.1.x, 10.2.x
10.1.x	10.2.x

9.12.x or 9.14.x

You must reach version 9.15.x before updating to 10.x:

From version	First update to version	Then update to version
9.12.x	9.14.x or 9.15.x	9.15.4 → 10.0.x
9.14.x	9.15.x	9.15.4 → 10.0.x

9.7.x through 9.10.x

You must pass through two chokepoints. First, version 9.9.5 or 9.10.2. Then version 9.12.x:

From version	First update to version	Then update to version	Then	Then
9.7.x, 9.8.x, or 9.9.x	9.9.5	9.12.x	9.15.x	10.0.x
9.10.x	9.10.2	9.12.x	9.15.x	10.0.x

9.0.x through 9.5.x

You must pass through three chokepoints. First, version 9.5.x. Then version 9.9.5 or 9.10.2. Then version 9.12.x:

From version	First update to version	Then update to version	Then	Then	Then
9.0.x	9.5.x	9.9.5	9.12.x	9.15.x	10.x
9.3.x	9.5.x	9.9.5	9.12.x	9.15.x	10.x
9.5.x		9.9.5	9.12.x	9.15.x	10.x

8.x or earlier

You have a longer update path. Contact Nasuni Support for guidance on your specific situation.

Version 7.10.9+ is required before updating to 8.0.x
Therefore, if your version is before 7.10.9, update to 7.10.9 first.
Version 8.8.3+ is required before updating to 9.0.x
Therefore, if your version is after 7.10.9 but before 8.8.3, update to 8.8.3 first.
After updating to 9.0.x, continue with the 9.0.x update path as described above.

NMC Update Paths

Mandatory Chokepoints

The following versions are required chokepoints. You must update to these versions before proceeding to later versions.

Step	Update To	Type	Notes
1	21.2.x	Chokepoint	Required for all versions before 21.2
2	22.3.5 or 23.1.2	Chokepoint	Required for all versions before 23.1.2
3	24.1.6	Chokepoint	Required for all versions before 24.1.6
4	25.1.x	Chokepoint	Required for all versions before 25.1
5	25.2.x+	Current	From 25.1.x, update directly to 25.2.x, 25.3.x, and later.

Specific NMC update paths

Determine the software version your NMC is running.

25.1.x or later

You are on the current update path. Update directly to the next version:

From version	Update to version
25.1.x	25.2.x or 25.3.x
25.2.x	25.3.x

23.2.x through 24.1.x

You must reach version 24.1.6 before updating to 25.1.x:

From version	Update to version	Then to version
23.2.x, 23.3.x, or 24.1.x	24.1.6	25.1.x → 25.3.x

22.x through 23.1.x
