 The purpose of this document is to describe how to perform a forced upgrade in R5.x using the GUI


 


If you still have questions after reading this article,  go to the  My Oracle Support Community - Disk Storage Pillar Axiom System


 


Release 5.x does not require the use of cli for forcing upgrades, all necessary options are available to any support level account.



The default support accounts are "administrator" and "pillar". The simplest, and recommended forced update options are to select every upgrade override unless otherwise advised by a product expert or sustaining engineer.



Forced Upgrades are Disruptive. All host I/O will be interrupted.
