Simplified Upgrade

Simplified Upgrade is a single operation that performs a full system upgrade of all the images. It
can be as simple as one command from the CLI or one set-request operation from the SNMP.
In this release, the process will be optimized by introducing a version-check of the images to
determine whether it is necessary to download/upgrade the image or not.

Version Check

Prior to this release, Simplified Upgrade and LP Auto-Upgrade reads the manifest file for the
location of the image to be used for the upgrade, and proceeds to download the image file.
