Automatic Updates

ExaVault’s Automatic Updating feature, available exclusively on premium plans, keeps your appliance current with the latest security patches, feature enhancements, and performance improvements. This includes updates to both the ExaVault software and the underlying Linux operating system.

For customers not using Premium, updates require downloading a new image from ExaVault and manually re-mapping the data disk to the new instance.

Enabling Automatic Updates

Log into the Appliance Manager to enable or disable automatic updates. The Configuration Page includes the settings:

• Auto-Update - When the box is checked, ExaVault will automatically check for new updates once per day, and will automatically apply new updates.

• Time of Day & Timezone - This is the hour of the day and the timezone used for ExaVault to check for updates. If Auto-Update is enabled, ExaVault will check every day during that hour. This lets you plan for updates and avoid disruptions.

The automatic update schedule also extends to OS-level maintenance through unattended upgrades, so your entire stack stays aligned and secure without manual intervention.

Disabling Automatic Updates

You can turn off the Automatic Updates feature in the Configuration Page of the Appliance Manager. Uncheck the Auto-Update checkbox to disable automatic updates.

1-Click Updates

If an update is available, but you have not enabled Auto-Updates, you can use the Update Now button on the Home Page of the Appliance Manager to start the update process immediately.
