Contains the steps to manually upgrade the operating system to support R3 version of the CloudCache.

Updated over a week ago

Procedure

  1. Log in to the Management Console.

  2. On the CloudCache listing page, if the CloudCache OS version is older than Ubuntu 22.04, specifically Ubuntu 20.04, then you would observe a notification advising you to upgrade the CloudCache OS to Ubuntu 22.04.

  3. If the CloudCache OS is Ubuntu 22.04, you see the CloudCache as auto-upgradable and on clicking, it will begin to upgrade the CloudCache to R3(R1 to R3 and R2 to R3).
    ​


    πŸ“ Note

    Do not upgrade to the R3 version if you want to avail IR, as Instant Restore (IR) is not available on CloudCache R3. Any virtual machines configured for IR are not upgradable to R3.
