Before You Upgrade the Software on a C-series Platform
Before you upgrade system software on a C-series platform:
- Create a snapshot of the software files currently on the C-series platform.
See Creating a Snapshot of Files on a C-series Platform.
- Make sure that other C-series platforms can carry system load during the upgrade. The system will not be operational during the upgrade.
