Update process from version 2.6.2 to 2.6.3

Notes

• Update versions are not backwards compatible.
  
• The instructions written here only works when updating from version 2.6.2 to 2.6.3.
• It is recommended to create a snapshot vm/img if it's in production in case things go wrong.
  
• Update will create a restore point, but don't count on it.
  
• Update will retain basic settings e.g. IP, Gateway, Datastore, SSH, Hostname, Deployment mode, Virt_lan0, MAC wan0 & lan0 mappings.
  
• Traffic policies, MultiSite, PortObjects and Groupobjects are migrated.
  
• Some settings may be set to defaults e.g. dedup levels, compression levels.
  
• Most stats will reset.
  
• It is recommended to add a default bypass rule during the update.
  
• Update is not backward compatible, hence please update all devices.
  
• It is strongly recommended to run an upgrade in a test lab environment before doing it on production machines.
