By default, verification of the digital signature on upgrade images is required in LMOS 7.2.50 and above. See the Update Verification Options setting under System Administration > Miscellaneous Options > WUI Settings. If the unit you are upgrading is set to require validation, you'll need to supply the XML Verification File supplied with this release.

Note that:

  • In previous releases, two verification files were provided: one for pre-7.2.51 systems and one for later systems. This restriction has been removed with this release; if upgrading from firmware 7.2.51.0 / 7.2.48.3 and above you can use the XML file provided with this release. If upgrading from any other firmware version you must following the upgrade path detailed in the Updating the LoadMaster Software Technical Note.
  • LoadMasters running an LMOS version prior to 7.2.49 do not provide the option of XML file verification in the UI or API. If you are upgrading from one of these releases to this release, you can verify the digital signatures offline. For further information, refer to the Verifying XML Signatures Technical Note.
