Updating FlashGrid software RPMs (Azure)

Note: In most cases using FlashGrid Server Update package is recommended for updating FlashGrid software and OS kernel.

Note: Please review corresponding release notes and check with FlashGrid support before performing any major version update. A major version consists of the first two numbers. The third number represents a revision (hotfix). For example, update from version 19.02.x to 19.05.x is major, but from 19.05.100 to 19.05.200 is a hotfix revision.
