Appliance Upgrade Requirements
You can upgrade your Aventail E-Class SRA appliance directly to version 10.6.4 from the following versions when
the most recent Hotfix has been installed:
• 10.6.3, 10.6.2, 10.6.1
• 10.5.7
• 10.0.7
When upgrading from a major version that is two versions back, appliance firmware upgrades are supported
only from the most recent maintenance release of that major version. If you are upgrading from a 10.0.x
version prior to 10.0.7, you must first upgrade to the most recent 10.0.x maintenance release, which is
version 10.0.7.
It is a best practice that the EX-Series appliance be running the latest Hotfix version before upgrading from the
versions listed above. The required Hotfix for each version as of the date of these Release Notes is shown below. It
is possible that additional hotfixes will be released for these versions, in which case you can access the
corresponding Knowledge Base link to see the most up-to-date hotfix recommendations.
