Important Upgrade Notice:
GTA strongly recommends backing up current firewall configurations PRIOR
to upgrading.
Firewalls requiring re-sized partitions will take approximately 5-8
minutes to reboot and fully update once the runtime has been applied. DO
NOT switch off or reboot the firewall during this process.
For detailed information on the upgrade procedure, please refer to the
GB-OS 5.3 User's Guide or visit http://www.gta.com/support/upgrade/.
GB-OS 5.3.0 will be available via automatic upgrade feature for GTA
Firewall UTM systems running GB-OS 5.0 or higher, or via download from
the GTA Online Support Center that are covered by a current maintenance
or support contract. If you have any questions or concerns, please email
GTA Sales, [email protected] or Support [email protected].
Regards,
David
