1.4. Upgrading Capsules Separately from Satellite

You can upgrade Satellite to the version 6.8 and keep Capsules at the version 6.7 until you have bandwidth to upgrade them too.

All the functionality that worked previously works on 6.7 Capsules. However, the functionality added in the 6.8 release will not work until you upgrade Capsules to 6.8.

Upgrading Capsules after upgrading Satellite can be useful in the following example scenarios:

  1. If you want to have several smaller outage windows instead of one larger window.
  2. If Capsules in your organization are managed by several teams and are located in different locations.
  3. If you use a load-balanced configuration, you can upgrade one load-balanced Capsule and keep other load-balanced Capsules at 1 version lower. This allows you to upgrade all Capsules one after another without any outage.
