Scheduling a System Restart
Step 7 Click Next to start the upgrade installation.
You can then view the status of the upgrade installation as it progresses.
The Results screen appears, which provides additional details, such as the upgrade installation status
(success or failure).
During the upgrade process from Version 8.2(1) to Version 8.3(1), the following files are automatically
saved to flash memory:
• The startup configuration
• The per-context configuration
• The bootup error log, which includes any migration messages
If there is insufficient memory to save the configuration files, an error message appears on the console
of the adaptive security appliance and is saved in the bootup error log file. All previously saved
configuration files are also removed.
Step 8 If the upgrade installation succeeded, for the upgrade versions to take effect, check the Save
configuration and reload device now check box to restart the adaptive security appliance, and restart
ASDM.
Step 9 Click Finish to exit the wizard and save the configuration changes that you have made.
Note To upgrade to the next higher version, if any, you must restart the wizard.
