Manage Upgrade Advisor Tool Menu
For a smooth upgrade process, Radware recommends analyzing the compatibility of the active configuration with a target upgrade version. Alteon analyzes the configuration parameters of your platform against any version that you want to upgrade to, checking all documented upgrade-related limitations of the version.
This analysis can be done for any valid upgrade version and can be done without actually performing any upgrade.
The source version is by default the running current version.
All the upgrade limitations are part of the Rules Database of the Upgrade Advisor Tool.
The database of known limitations (upgrade rules) is continually being updated as required. You can ensure that you are checking against the latest version of the limitations file by uploading the latest upgrade tool resources for analysis.
The resulting Analysis Report details all incompatibilities, whether the version upgrade will fail or pass, and provides actions to be taken before and after the upgrade process in order to resolve any upgrade issues and to ensure a successful upgrade.
