Vertex Upgrade Steps

1. Log in to the Palette VerteX system console. (https://vertex.dersllc.com/system)
2. From the left Main Menu, select Enterprise Cluster and then select the Profile tab.
3. Copy the configurations for your CSI, CNI, and Kubernetes layers to an external location for backup.
4. From the left Main Menu, select Administration > Pack Registries. Then, next to your spectro-packs registry, select the three-dot Menu > Sync.
   1. Palette VerteX initiates a registry sync, which can take up to 30 minutes to complete.
5. From the left Main Menu, select Update Management. Once the registry sync is done, Palette VerteX will prompt you to update to the new version. Click Update.
