Applying an Appliance System Upgrade
You use this procedure to install upgrades on the Cisco Secure ACS Appliance.
Upgrades may include the installation of a full software revision or simply the
installation of a software patch.
Before you begin
You must have an upgrade to install. For information on checking the availability
of and obtaining an upgrade, see the User Guide for Cisco Secure ACS Appliance.
For information on how to load the upgrade package onto the Cisco Secure ACS
Appliance see, Transferring an Upgrade Package to the Appliance via Serial
Console, page 4-34.
Also, because the Cisco Secure ACS Appliance is non-operational during the
upgrade process, you may want to schedule the upgrade for a time when its
absence online will have the least impact.
