    The Veritas Appliance Shell menu is displayed.

  2. To run the pre-upgrade check run the following command:

    start appliance preupgrade-check patch=update_name

    where update-name is the name of the software update that you want to install.

  3. Monitor the pre-upgrade check and ensure that all the pre-upgrade checks pass successfully. To check the status, run the show appliance preupgrade-check status command.
