'''This is the recommended option for systems running 3.16.x or earlier QuantaStor versions, and systems that may be out of date and require OS level package updates as well.'''

'''This update will require a REBOOT.'''

This procedure will upgrade the QuantaStor system to the latest software version, and also update all OS level packages to their latest versions as well, ensuring the system software has the latest security patches in place.

For customers running releases older than 4.0.3 or versions of 3.x, it is recommended that you schedule a downtime work window as a reboot is required for changes in the 4.0.3 series of upgrades. You will need to run these commands as a user with sudo access on the QuantaStor appliance, such as the default 'qadmin' account or as root if you have enabled direct root access.

:''NOTE: Schedule Downtime and disconnect client access before performing these steps.''

'''Login to the CLI to perform a full upgrade to QuantaStor 4.0.4 along with the installation of the 3.19.0-58-quantastor Linux Kernel, the latest ZFS and other driver upgrades and latest Security and OS packages.'''
