SPT-C50, SPT-C1, and PX3/DX3-QSFP-DD-8
For these appliances, the feature applies to Spirent TestCenter releases 4.94 and later.
When you initially upgrade to release 4.94 or later, both installed versions will be 4.94 or
later. Subsequent upgrades to releases later than 4.94 will result in two separate partitions,
containing the current version and the standby version, respectively.
Notes: •
Downgrading to a Spirent TestCenter version below 4.94 removes this
feature.
•
If you are using Spirent TestCenter version 4.53 or earlier, and you want to
upgrade to version 4.94, go to the Customer Service Center (CSC)
Knowledge Base, and follow the instructions in FAQ11021.
•
Downgrading to 4.81 or below is a two-step process (if you are at 4.94 or
above). First downgrade to 4.81 and then to the version you intend to use.
•
On PX3/DX3-QSFP-DD-8 appliances, downgrading below 4.94 is not
allowed from the GUI. Refer to CSC Knowledge Base article FAQ18701 for
details.
