What to do if an Upgrade is Interrupted
If the upgrade operation is interrupted or times out prior to completion, refer to the results table to see
which appliances were successfully upgraded and which were not. For appliances that were not
successfully upgraded do the following:
1 Make a note of the appliance name and problem description in the Result column.
2 Close the Upgrade Appliances window.
3 Fix the problem with the appliance.
4 Select the target appliances and restart the software upgrade operation.

Checking Upgrade Status
You can check on the status of an upgrade using two methods:
●
In ETEMS, configure a syslog server to receive events generated by the ETEP. Several system log
events with a priority level of “notice” are generated by the ETEP during the upgrade process.

●
The show upgrade-status and show system-log CLI commands provide status on the upgrade
process. During an upgrade the CLI is available from the serial port, but you cannot initiate an SSH
session until the upgrade is complete. The show commands are available in ETEP 1.5 and later.

Restoring the Backup File System
The restore operation restores the backup copy of the appliance file system. This operation is available
through ETEMS only on ETEP appliances. For other appliance models, use the CLI commands to restore
the file system from a backup copy.
through ETEMS only on ETEP appliances. For other appliance models, use the CLI commands to restore
the file system from a backup copy.
As part of the software upgrade process the ETEP preserves a backup copy of the file system. The
backup copy of the appliance file system contains a software image, configuration files, policies and
keys, certificates, log files, and passwords. Restoring the backup file system replaces the current file
system with the backup files.

The restore operation can be reversed. The restore operation essentially toggles between the current file
system and the backup image. Each time you issue the restore command, the appliance switches its
running image to whichever file system is not currently in use.
