About deploying software

You must control the sequence of tasks and device restarts as you install or upgrade software. The exact steps can vary from software version to version. The following sequence of SiteConfig tasks is typical:

  1. Check currently installed software.
  2. Add software package(s) to deployment group(s).
  3. Set deployment options.
  4. Deploy (install or upgrade) software.

Your product's release notes or other upgrade instructions have the specific task flow for the version of software you are installing. If you are installing software for the first time or you are upgrading existing software, the steps are essentially the same. The primary difference is that when installing software for the first time, the SiteConfig "uninstall" deployment tasks are not displayed.

Note: Make sure you follow the documented task flow for the version of software you are installing or to which you are upgrading.
