About upgrading to NetBackup appliance software version 4.0

Use an SSH session or the IPMI console to log in to the NetBackup Appliance Shell Menu to upgrade appliances. For upgrades from versions 3.1 and later, you may also use the Appliance Management Console. To upgrade the nodes in a high availability (HA) setup, you must use the NetBackup Appliance Shell Menu. The Appliance Management Console does not support upgrades for HA nodes.

Before you begin any upgrades, review the following topics:
