Step 8

The Summary page lists summary information for each selected WSA and upgrade build; click Next to continue the wizard.

Step 9

Following a series of download checks such as WSA connection status, the Review page provides listings of download status for each WSA. Click Begin Download to being downloading an upgrade package to each selected WSA.

The Centralized Upgrade page displays download status information throughout the process.
