8.4.1 Ordering

Resource Link provides the interface that enables you to order a concurrent upgrade for a
server. You can create, cancel, view the order, and view the history of orders that were placed
through this interface. Configuration rules enforce that only valid configurations are generated
within the limits of the individual server. Warning messages are issued if you select invalid
upgrade options. The process enables only one permanent CIU-eligible order for each server
to be placed at a time. For a tutorial, see the following website:
