Syneto OS checks for updates automatically once every night and will notify the administrator via email in case a new update is available. Internet access is required to check for updates. If the storage needs a HTTP proxy to access the internet, configure the proxy on the Network > Basic configuration page.
When updates are available, the icon in the top right menu will be highlighted. Click it in order to start the update process.
Update without reboot
There are two types of updates. If the changes in the new version do not apply to the core of the operating system, the update will be installed without needing to reboot the machine.
- Click View release notes to read the list of changes provided by the new version.
- Click INSTALL UPDATES and in the next dialog confirm you would like to continue.
- The update to the new version starts. Based on your WAN bandwidth, downloading the new version can take up to 30 minutes.
- Wait for the update to finish.
