Known issue's:

  • Fixed DNS IP and restore of an autobackup
    • If you have flashed 9.0-release and restored a backup from a previous release, and you had configured a fixed DNS IP address, you will need to enter this again, as it can't be restored due to the aforementioned changes to the DNS code. If you have configured a fixed IP for the box as well, an autoinstall after the flash will fail as the download servers can't be reached without DNS.
    • If you are going to flash and making the backup that will be restored after the flash, you must either convert your DNS to DHCP before the flash , or manually set your DNS again after the flash and the restore, and then manually run the autoinstall again via autobackup.
