Overview:

Use this interface to define how your server performs software updates and upgrades.

Release Tier

Use this section of the interface to select a release tier and control how system updates. It also displays important update information. The release tier controls when the system upgrades cPanel & WHM.

• If your update includes more than one major cPanel & WHM version, the system upgrades your server to each intermediate version.
• For more information about update requirements, read our Upgrade Blockers documentation.
• For more information about releases and release tiers, read our Product Versions and the Release Process documentation.

Select a cPanel & WHM tier that matches your requirements.

You can select from the following cPanel & WHM release tiers:

Automatic update delay

To ensure the best quality support, automatic upgrades to subsequent major versions of cPanel & WHM do not always occur immediately. If your server uses the RELEASE, STABLE, or LTS tiers, the system applies a delay of several business days before your automatic upgrade occurs. The system randomly selects the length of your delay.

The system applies a delay if all of the following statements are true:

• You use the RELEASE, STABLE, or LTS tiers.

  Note:

  Servers on the EDGE or CURRENT tiers, or that use a specific build or version instead of a named tier, won’t experience delays.

   

• You don’t run the upgrade manually.

• Upgrading will only update the server by one major version (for example, from version 78 to version 80).

• You do not run the upgrade with either:

  • The --force option when you run the /scripts/upcp script.
  • The Force setting in WHM’s Upgrade to Latest Version interface (WHM >> Home >> cPanel >> Upgrade to Latest Version).

When we release a major version, you may perform any of the following actions:

• Use either of the following methods to update immediately:
  • The --force option when you run the /scripts/upcp script.
  • The Force setting in WHM’s Upgrade to Latest Version interface (WHM >> Home >> cPanel >> Upgrade to Latest Version).
• Do nothing to allow the automatic upgrade to occur.
• To prevent future delayed upgrades, change your release tier.

Staging Directory

The upgrade process stages necessary update files before it applies the update. This setting determines where the system places the staging files.

To select the staging directory, perform either of the following actions:

• Enter a new directory in the Directory text box. If it doesn’t exist, the system creates the .cpanel__HOSTNAME__upcp_staging subdirectory, where HOSTNAME is server’s hostname.

• Select a partition in the Available Partitions table. The path to the selected partition will appear in the Directory text box.

Send my settings to all configuration cluster servers

Select this checkbox to send your Update Preferences settings to all of the servers that currently exist in your configuration cluster.

When you select this option, the interface may require several seconds to load when you click Save, and will then display a confirmation message.

• Click Show Details to view the status of each server in the configuration cluster.
• An error icon () in the Status column indicates that the server failed to receive the settings.
• The Message column displays additional information about servers that failed.
