Distributing the software upgrade files involves unpacking the software files and loading the new software. When you distribute the files, the NIOS appliance loads the new software code into an alternative disk partition that overwrites any previously saved version of existing code. Therefore, starting the distribution disables the appliance from reverting to a release prior to the current version. The Grid Master distributes the software upgrade to each member in the Grid including itself.
When you schedule a distribution, you schedule the distribution of the Grid Master as well as the upgrade groups, including the Default group. The Grid Master distribution must always occur before the distribution of the upgrade groups.
The distribution schedule object provides configuration for scheduled distribution of the software, activation of the schedule, as well as date and time settings.
