Scheduled upgrade on Spark appliances?

Hi,

is there a way to do a scheduled firmware upgrade on centrally managed (OnPrem) Spark appliances (like CDT)?

BR,

Bernhard

If its locally managed, I believe below should work:

Path: Device > System Operations > Firmware Management → Configure automatic upgrades

They are centrally managed.
Btw. i think a major upgrade (R81.x-->R82.x) will not work this way, because there is a policy install after the upgrade neccessary

If its cloud, below might work:

set cloud-services-firmware-upgrade activate true frequency weekly day-of-week sunday time 02:00
