Accelerating the activation of a software release

Activating a new release may take up to 10 minutes per TMedia unit. In order to accelerate the activation, two options are available:

  • Pre-install the software release on the TMedia units in the background
  • Enable simultaneous upgrade of all TMedia units, in the Web Portal 'Applications' -> 'Configurations' -> 'tboamapp -> Edit' -> Allow upgrade of all adapters simultaneously
