If the optics-mgr package is installed on the system, performing a Live upgrade may lead to one of the following issues: The system may continue running an older OS version after the upgrade attempt. The OS and associated services may fail to upgrade properly.
The system may be completely inoperative, or the system may be running with different OS versions, which could lead to unknown problems.
Performing Live upgrade on a system with optics-mgr installed may result in failure in one of the upgrade steps and continues with the subsequent steps.
To prevent the system from entering this state, ensure the following: If the current OS version is below 1.5.3 and the Optics Manager package is installed, and you are planning to upgrade to version 1.5.3 or 1.8.x, follow these steps: -> Uninstall the Optics Manager package before starting the upgrade. -> Proceed with the OS upgrade to version 1.5.3 or 1.8.x. -> Once the upgrade is complete, reinstall the Optics Manager package. Note: Installing or uninstalling the optics-manager package triggers a system reboot for the changes to take effect.
