Upgrade Guide with Delta or Patch Bundle#
Introduction#
The Upgrade Guide with Delta or Patch Bundle (this document) is a guide for upgrades to:
a minor release (Delta bundle), for example, 25.1 to 25.2, and so on.
a maintenance release (Patch bundle), for example, 24.2-PB1 to 24.2-PB2, and so on.
The Upgrade Guide with ISO and Template is a guide for upgrades to a major version release, for example, 24.x to 25.x, and so on.
Note
For all fresh installs (covered in the Installation Guide) or for upgrades, review the Release and Upgrade Notes accompanying the relevant release.
A Method of Procedure (MOP) document is published on the client portal (https://voss.portalshape.com) together with the individual patch it refers to (in the same directory, for example, Downloads > VOSS Automate > 24.2 > Patches > [patch name]). These are patches that may be delivered between (major or maintenance) releases. The MOP accompanying a patch provides download and install details specific to the patch.
Each section of this guide includes labels to indicate the relevant topologies:
Unified node cluster topology:
Modular node cluster topology:
Single unified node topology:
