52 Release and Migration Notes - Determine Your Update Scenario
Combining NG Control Center 5.2.x with 5.0.x and/or 4.2.x Units
The table below shows compatibility between the firmware’s major versions.
* Already existing units only; introduction of new units, especially new Barracuda appliances is not possible.
** Configuration sent from the Barracuda NG Control Center to the unit is automatically migrated on the unit. Newly introduced features of the respective
release can’t be configured. The managed unit migrates the configuration automatically by itself and sets initial default values for newly introduced
configuration items.
Solving Update and Installation Failures
If a unit does not boot into normal operation mode after update or installation, certain BIOS settings
might be misconfigured.
Reset the BIOS configuration by performing the following steps:
• Establish a serial console connection to the unit (19200 bit/s).
• Switch the appliance on and hold the
Del key during the boot-up RAM test.
Wait until the BIOS screen appears.
• If the BIOS screen does not appear, hold
ALT and simultaneously press 0 on
the numeric keyboard. Then, release
0 again while still holding ALT and, again
simultaneously, press
9 on the numeric keypad, followed by releasing 9 and
finally also releasing
ALT. The BIOS screen should appear.
• Within the BIOS menu, select and execute
Set to optimal defaults.
• Save the new settings, exit the BIOS and reboot the appliance.
