16. System Software Updates
Solida Systems will occasionally release updated system software for the appliances. These
releases might contain bug fixes as well as new features. New releases are published to the cloud
for distribution. The appliances will automatically check with the cloud server to see if any new
updates are available. The user can decide if the appliance should be updated or not. It is not
required to perform any updates, unless it is specifically advised to do so in the features text for
the release.
To check for a new software release or to perform an update, start the configuration application
and navigate to “Software Updates” in the menu side bar. This will present the following window:
Figure 16.1 Software update GUI window.
The upper System Control Center box contains the following:
Firmware version
- Displays the currently active internal firmware version number.
JSOSD version
- Displays the version of the current security OS daemon.
The button named “Generate Support Bundle” starts a support feature that collects useful
information from the appliance. See the “Support Bundle Generation” chapter for further
information regarding this.
The lower box titled “Solida Software Versions Available For Updates” contains a list of available
software updates. The list will only include versions that are later than the version currently
running in the appliance.
