Important Note: Earlier Infinio Accelerator releases (3.x) were distributed with Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. As the public support of this version of Linux has ended, your will not be able to upgrade a 3.x management console to 4.0 or to any later releases. If you currently have a running 3.x management console, you must install a new 4.0.0 management console alongside the running 3.x management console. A 4.0.0 management console will be able to talk with previously installed 3.x I/O filters. The same license you used for 3.x will still work with 4.0.0. You can then upgrade the Infinio I/O filters on all clusters with the newly installed 4.0.0 management console. After all clusters are upgraded successfully, you may shutdown and archive the 3.x management console as a backup.
