Updating the Roving Edge Infrastructure Device Software while Connected
Describes how to updating the Roving Edge Infrastructure device software while the device is connected to the internet.
Software update versions are not cumulative to the preceding versions. If your Roving Edge Infrastructure device is more than one software version behind the latest version, you must update to each subsequent version individually until you are current with the latest version.
The size of the update is currently around 20 GB with potential to grow or shrink with time. Download time is determined by the update size and your network bandwidth. For example, with a 10 MBPS download connection, it would take approximately 30 minutes.
When you begin the update, the Roving Edge Infrastructure device waits 60 seconds for all running VMs to shut down. If you have VMs that take longer than 60 seconds to shut down, shut them down yourself before performing the update.
