Citrix SD-WAN

Change management settings

You can schedule the installation of dependent components like WANOP, management service, hypervisor and hotfixes using change management settings.

By default, the MCN assigns schedules installation to be attempted every day at 21:20:00 (local appliance time) based on software availability on the branches.

Note

For appliances in HA mode, maintain different schedule installation time on HA pair. Failing to do so, will restart both the HA pair after installation and the network will go down.

To edit schedule information:

Navigate to Configuration > Virtual WAN > Change Management Settings. Select the site for which you want to edit schedule information and click Edit.
