Overview

This document provides the instructions on updating xiRAID Classic 4.0.0, 4.0.1, 4.0.2, 4.0.3 and 4.0.4 to xiRAID Classic 4.1.0.

xiRAID Classic 4.1.0 currently supports Oracle, Ubuntu, Proxmox, Alma Linux, Rocky Linux and RHEL systems (refer to the xiRAID Classic 4.1.0 System Requirements for the full list of distributions). You can update xiRAID Classic 4.0.0, 4.0.1, 4.0.2, 4.0.3 and 4.0.4 using the “xiraid-repo” repository (see updating instructions for your OS below).

During the update, additional packages required by xiRAID Classic 4.1.0 will be automatically installed on your system (see xiRAID Classic 4.1.0 System Requirements).

Version Lock plugin will be installed along with the xiRAID packages. Once the update is finished, this plugin will lock the version of the current packages, preventing it from being automatically updated on general system update commands (apt/yum/dnf update).

You can disable the Version Lock using the Update Check Service commands listed in the xiRAID Classic 4.1.0 Administrator's Guide to update your xiRAID Classic to a newer available version. The instructions on how to do that safely will be available at xinnor.io.

We recommend setting up email notifications to receive information about the latest xiRAID Classic releases. Detailed instructions on how to do this are listed in the xiRAID Classic Administrator's Guide. The notifications will be sent to you once every three days. The corresponding messages will be added to journalctl logs regardless of your notifications settings.
