Upgrading Edge OS

Before you begin

To access Artifactory downloads, you will require a GE SSO (single sign-on) username and approval to access Artifactory.

Request a GE SSO

Use the following steps to obtain a GE SSO if you do not already have one.

  1. Complete the Your GE SSO Account request form. All fields marked with a checkmark are required.
  2. Click Submit.
Note: The only non-alphanumeric characters allowed in your GE SSO are an underscore (_) and a period (.). Using any other non-alphanumeric characters for your username will result in an invalid authentication in Artifactory.

Request Artifactory Access

Once you have an SSO, use the following steps to request access to Artifactory.
  1. Complete the Edge Artifactory Access Requests form.
  2. Click Submit.
Upgrade Sequence
Edge OS upgrades must be installed incrementally; you cannot skip a minor release (i.e., if you are running version 2.1.0, you must first upgrade to 2.2.1 and then 2.3.0.). You do not have to install every patch release (indicated by a change to the third digit in the release number).
Note: Ensure you download the upgrade file for the next version for your specific platform. File names are in the format meta-edge-xxxx... where 'xxxx' is the platform label.
Obtain Upgrade Image File

Software upgrade files are within the EdgeOS folder in the Artifactory Repository Browser.

  1. Expand the EdgeOS folder.
  2. Expand the folder for the version you wish to install (e.g., 2_3_0).
  3. Expand the os folder.
  4. Expand the tar.gz file for your specific platform.
  5. Select the software update (SWU) file and click Download (the option to download the file is also available by right-clicking the file name).

Once you have downloaded the correct update file, you can deploy it with either the Predix Edge Technician Console or Edge Manager.
