upgrading and rolling back

[support_draft_]

Hi all, we have a SA2000 running 5.5R1 i think...

Is there a right way to update it? or can i go from 5.5 to 7.0r7 ?

If yes what is the right path to follow?

What could happen if i update the appliance, from 5.5 to lets say 6.8 and then 7.0 directly?

Could damage the box?  some strange network issues could happen?

The 7.0R1 release notes contains the upgrade path.

While you could _technically_ do this, a multi-hop upgrade would be preferred if possible. The reason for this is there were drastic changes between the OSes and the upgrade logic is not tested on this large of a jump.

A better bet, from memory, would be to go to 6.2, 6.5, and then 7.0.
