Note: You can use FTP or NFS to copy an upgrade package to a system. DD System Manager is limited
to managing 5 system upgrade packages, but there are no restrictions, other than space limitations, when
you manage the files directly in the /ddvar/releases directory. FTP is disabled by default. To use
NFS, /ddvar needs to be exported and mounted from an external host).

Note: Upgrade package files use the .rpm file extension. This topic assumes that you are updating only
DD OS. If you make hardware changes, such as adding, swapping, or moving interface cards, you must
update the DD OS configuration to correspond with the hardware changes.
Note: For most releases, upgrades are permitted from up to two prior major release versions. For
Release 5.7, upgrades are permitted from Releases 5.5 and 5.6.
As recommended in the Release Notes, reboot the Data Domain system before upgrading to verify
that the hardware is in a clean state. If any issues are discovered during the reboot, resolve those
issues before starting the upgrade.
12. [ ] Select Data Management > File System, and verify that the file system is enabled and running.
13. [ ] Select Maintenance > System.
14. [ ] From the Upgrade Packages Available on Data Domain System list, select the package to use
for the upgrade.
Note: You must select an upgrade package for a newer version of DD OS. DD OS does not support
downgrades to previous versions.
Note: To view the status of an upgrade using the CLI, enter the system upgrade status
command. Log messages for the upgrade are stored in
/ddvar/log/debug/platform/upgrade-error.log and
/ddvar/log/debug/platform/upgrade-info.log.
17. [ ] If the system powers down, you must remove AC power from the system to clear the prior
configuration. Unplug all of the power cables for 30 seconds and then plug them back in. The system
powers on and reboots.
