Upgrading to 6.0.4, and Latest OS Packages and Security updates via Command Line Interface

This is the recommended option for systems running 5.x and 6.x QuantaStor versions on the Bionic Platform, and systems that may be out of date and require OS level package updates as well.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.

It is recommended that you schedule a downtime work window, as a reboot may be required for changes in the 6.0.4 upgrade. 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: We recommend allocating a maintenance window for all upgrades. For more complex upgrades we recommend scheduling time with OSNEXUS support for assistance.

Login to the CLI to perform a full upgrade to QuantaStor 6.0.4 along with the latest Kernel and Security and OS packages.

# For Focal platforms
