This is the recommended option for systems running 5.x QuantaStor versions, and systems that may be out of date and require OS level package updates as well.

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.

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