Software repository

The software installed on nodes is served from the management server. At any time, the last three versions that have been released to you are available for installation.

To set the version you want nodes to install or upgrade to, visit the Administration page and click the Software repository link. You will see a form allowing you to select the version:

Select the version you wish to be available and click the Save button to save the change.

Changing this setting invalidates the software package cache saved on nodes, so you need to run the following command on nodes that are to be upgraded after changing this setting:

apt-get update

Note that changing the version here does not automatically update the version on the nodes themselves. See Upgrading a node for instructions to upgrade the nodes after this change.

The Update version automatically setting is used to determine whether the version should be automatically updated when the admin server is upgraded. For example, with this option set, if the admin server software is updated to 2016.2, the available bonding version here is also updated to match. As with a manual version change, the nodes themselves are not upgraded automatically. If this option is unset, the version will be unchanged on admin server upgrades.
