Guidelines for multiple appliance upgrades
Use the following guidelines when planning for multiple appliance upgrades:
Before you begin the upgrade process, download the appropriate upgrade package and add it to the Repository.
When selecting the appliances to upgrade, select only those that use the same software version.
Select only one upgrade package to deploy for all selected appliances. Simultaneous upgrades of different version upgrade packages are not supported.
Appliances that use software versions 2.7.3 and 3.0 are also supported for upgrades through the Appliance Management Console. To upgrade appliances with versions 2.7.3 or 3.0 from the Appliance Management Console, you must first apply specific EEBs on those appliances. Check this link for more information.
When you upgrade from software version 2.7.3 to 3.2 and from 3.0 to 3.2, an agent must be registered again after the upgrade.
