BEFORE YOU UPGRADE

The shortest upgrade path into the newest 5.1 version is from the latest 4.4 version (4.4-71166) with the 5.0 version being skipped. If your version is older than 3.10, your upgrade path is the following: 3.10 > 4.4 > 5.1.

There are a few things that need to be verified before this upgrade can be applied.

Make sure your Fudo instance isn’t undergoing any system-wide process, such as storage rebuild, or the system isn’t under full-load.

In a cluster configuration, make sure all nodes are synchronized and upgrade the slave node first.

Make sure you have an active Premium or Standard Support maintenance contract.

HOW TO UPGRADE YOUR FUDO

Login to your Fudo and from the menu on the left-hand side select ‘System’, then the ‘Upgrade’ tab.

If your Fudo is running in a cluster,  and start the upgrade on the Slave node. Only when the upgrade finishes successfully start upgrading the Master node. When both systems are running the same Fudo version cluster communication will be restored.

Select “Upload” from the top left side and upload the previously downloaded and unzipped upgrade package file.

Select “Run Check” to determine if your upgrade file is correct and can be applied to the existing Fudo configuration. Refresh your browser window to see “Upgrade check” current progress.

Upon a successful “Run Check” result, upgrade your Fudo by using the “Upgrade” button. Upon system restart, all active sessions will be terminated.

In case of an unsuccessful check do not upgrade your system, double check your upgrade file checksum. If you encounter any problems, get in touch with us and we will assist you.

THE ROLLBACK PROCEDURE

If you are experiencing issues with the newly installed version, you have an option to roll back to the previous version of Fudo running on this machine. To do so, click the user menu on the top, select ‘Restart’, and select previous system revision from the drop-down list.

Please keep in mind any session recordings performed on a newer version will be lost upon upgrade rollback execution.
