5-114 Installing and Using Utilities
Performing an Upgrade with No Configuration File
If the upgrade you want to perform does not require any special settings, you can proceed without a
configuration file.
IMPORTANT:
When you execute the Active Upgrade for the first time, you need to use the configuration file to
update. You can upgrade without the configuration file only when you have executed the Active
Upgrade with the configuration file before.
For example, if you have only one system disk, and you just want to split the system briefly to test
how a hotfix would affect the operating system without committing the changes, you might not need
a configuration file.
To proceed without a configuration file, click No Configuration File on the Configuration page.
The Active Upgrade Console immediately displays the Active Upgrade page and runs a readiness
check. If your system meets the prerequisites for the Active Upgrade process, you can split the
system at this time.
