Overview of the Upgrade Process
TheAppSpeedupgradeprocessusesanISOimageandisfullyautomated.TheISOimageisprovidedby
VMware.
YouupgradeAppSpeedbyconnectingtheISOimagewiththenewversiontotheAppSpeedservermachine
andrunningacommand‐lineinterface(CLI)command.TheCLIcommandperformsthefollowingactions:
1UpgradestheAppSpeedserverandperformstwosequentialreboots.
2SetsuptheAppSpeedserverwiththenewversion,keepingallconfigurationsandmonitoringdataofthe
