1. Update to Oracle SD-WAN Edge version 8.2.0.0.0 or higher.
2. Upload and install the new OS Partition Image. This will install the new Oracle SD-WAN Edge OS image to the backup OS partition.
3. Switch OS partitions to activate the new OS image on the active OS partition. This will require a reboot of the appliance.
4. After the reboot, verify that the Oracle SD-WAN Edge software version and OS image version are correct, and that any previously established Conduits have been brought back up.

Oracle SD-WAN Appliances have two OS partitions: active and backup. Upon successful completion of an OS partition update procedure, the new Oracle SD-WAN Edge OS image will be installed on the active partition and the old OS image will be moved on the backup.

Procedure Details - Network Upload

Follow this procedure if you are able to connect to the Oracle SD-WAN Appliance from your workstation across a network connection.

1. Download the OS version you plan to upgrade to (e.g., OS 5.0).
2. Click the link for your specific Oracle Talari Appliance model to download the OS Partition Image file (e.g., talari_t860v1_OS_Partition_Update_50.img) to your workstation or to a host that is on the same local network as the Oracle Talari Appliance.

   Note:

   If your workstation is not on the same local network as the Oracle Talari Appliance, we recommend copying the image to a local host before uploading it to the Oracle Talari Appliance to avoid upload timeout.
3. Log into the appliance web console and locate the OS Partition Network Upload section under Manage SD-Wan Edge → OS Partition.

   

4. Click Browse... and locate the new OS Partition Image on your workstation or the local host on which you downloaded it, then click Upload to upload the image to the Oracle SD-WAN Appliance. When asked to confirm, click OK.

   

5. Wait for the upload to complete. Do not leave the upload status page until the Continue button becomes active. Click Continue to return to Manage SD-WAN Edge → OS Partition.

   Note:

   Upload progress can be monitored via the CLI. Please refer to Appendix A - Monitor OS Upload via CLI for more details.

   

6. The OS Partition Upload section of the screen now displays an Install option. Click Install to install the image to the backup OS partition and click OK on the confirmation dialog box.

   

7. Wait for installation to complete. Do not leave the install status page until the Continue button is active. Click Continue to return to Manage SD-WAN Edge → OS Partition.

   

8. The OS Partition Versions section will display the newly installed OS image on the backup partition. Click Change OS Partition to swap the backup partition with the active partition. An appliance reboot is required. Click OK to confirm.

   Note:

   Activating a new OS image requires an appliance reboot and should be scheduled during a maintenance window.

   

9. When prompted, reboot the appliance and click OK to confirm.

   

10. Wait for the reboot to complete. This may take several minutes, during which time the appliance will be inaccessible.

    

    Note:

    Following the reboot, the old OS image will still be available on the backup OS partition should you need to revert. Please contact Support before attempting to revert to the previous OS image.
11. When reboot is complete, log into the appliance web console and verify that the Software Version and OS Version are correct, and that any previously established Conduits have been brought back up.
