When you delete an ExtremeXOS device that is configured as a flow source via the Flow
Sources table of the Analytics > Configuration > Engines > Configuration tab from the
Devices list on the Network > Devices tab, an error message is generated in the
server.log. The message does not warn you that the device is in use as a flow
source. Adding the device back in the Devices list on the Network > Devices tab or
removing the device from the Flow Source table fixes the issue.
The Flow Sources table on the Analytics > Configuration >
engine
> Configuration tab
may take a few minutes to load.

4.4.1 General Upgrade Information
Before upgrading to Extreme Management Center 8.5, upgrade your ExtremeControl
engine version to 8.2 or 8.3. Additionally, both Extreme Management Center and the
ExtremeControl engine must be at version 8.5 in order to take advantage of the new
ExtremeControl 8.5 features.
NOTE: ExtremeControl 8.5 functionality is not supported on the 2S Series and 7S Series
ExtremeWireless Controllers.
You can download the latest ExtremeControl engine version at the Extreme Portal:

In addition, if your ExtremeControl solution utilizes a Nessus assessment server,

ExtremeControl engine 8.5. Version 8.5 of the assessment agent adapter requires an
operating system with a 64-bit architecture.
