Check System Upgrade History
Information about all component upgrades and patches is stored in upgrade jobs, which can be consulted in the Service Web UI and Service CLI. Over time, as the system goes through multiple upgrades, the large number of entries might make the list difficult to interpret. The upgrade history provides a clear way to drill down into the details of the upgrade and patching activity on your appliance.
The upgrade history presents the information from all upgrade and patch jobs in a categorized way so you can see which version upgrades have been performed, which jobs have been run for each of those upgrades, and from which source (ISO upgrade or ULN patch). Details include build versions, component versions before and after, job completion, success or failure, time stamps, and duration.
Appliance software builds are installed onto the appliance either through upgrade from ISO content or patching from ULN. Display the build history by running the following command.
