Chapter 2 Installing Bundled Software
After you initiate an upgrade (by clicking
Split
on the
Active Upgrade
page), the navigation bar reverts to a
static mode, in which it only indicates where you are in the upgrade process and does not allow you to skip
between pages. You must follow the upgrade steps (split, merge, commit, and finish) in order to complete the
upgrade process, or you can abort the process altogether.
