Title: Upgrade from 19.1.7 to 21.1
Post by: Smack2k on April 26, 2021, 02:26:35 AM
Can you upgrade straight from 19.1.7 to 21.1 via the console?

If so, do you choose option 12 and enter 21.1 and the upgrade runs?

Or do you need to upgrade to something in between first?

Thank you!

You have to upgrade to 19.7, patch 19.7 and then upgrade to 20.1 etc....

Alternatively, if you are willing to save the configuration and either restore/recreate it, you can write a copy of the latest system install to usb, boot the box from the usb stick and install from the live system.

Might be significantly faster that way :)

My apologies for not responding sooner, but thank you very much for the information.  I appreciate it.

Going to go through the upgrades this weekend.

If I backup my config on 19.1.7, can I restore that config to 21.1 install?
