Security Considerations
CTERA Networks Ltd. is constantly looking at ways to improve security. CTERA recommends using the latest software for optimum security.
Sync Delay
The amount of time for an edited file to be uploaded to portal is configurable by running CLI and if the file was not uploaded within this time, a clone is created in a temp folder which is uploaded to the portal. The default time is 300 seconds (five minutes). For more details, contact CTERA Support.
Installing or Upgrading an Edge Filer
Installing a CTERA Edge Filer
For installation details, refer to the CTERA Edge Filer Installation for your platform.
New deployments support the next generation file system, which is enabled by default.
Upgrading a CTERA Edge Filer from an Earlier 7.x Version
CTERA recommends that you only upgrade to a new version from an immediate previous version. If you have an older version, upgrade in steps, first to an intermediate previous version and then to the new version. For example, to upgrade from 7.11.x to 7.13.x, first upgrade to 7.12.x and only then to this version.
After upgrading the edge filer, downgrading the edge filer is not possible.
Upgrading the software of an edge filer running an earlier 7.x version can be performed automatically when the edge filer is connected to a CTERA Portal and the latest edge filer firmware TGZ file is uploaded to the portal.
