Full release notes can be viewed at: https://www.gta.com/support/showReleaseNote/?id=166.

Important Upgrade Notice:

Re-sizing Slices and Runtime Upgrades
In order to support the new features in GB-OS 5.2, some firewalls may require partition re-sizing during the upgrade process. Upon re-sizing, both runtime slices will have GB-OS 5.2, and firewall administrators WILL NOT be able to revert to previous runtimes via the Console or Web interface.

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 5.2 User's Guide or visit http://www.gta.com/support/upgrade/.

GB-OS 5.2.5 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
