      • The certificate revocation list (CRL) in the installation package is used to verify the integrity of the installation package during the upgrade. If the CRL expires, the upgrade fails. You can import a new CRL by referring to Importing a CRL and then upgrade the software. The CRL can be imported only when the AtlasEdge software version is upgraded from 20.2.x (MindX Edge V100R020C20) to a later version.
      • The AtlasEdge software upgrade process on FusionDirector includes software package download. The software package supports resumable download. That is, if the download fails due to network interruption or exceptions, the software package will be downloaded from the position where the download failed last time when you perform the upgrade again.
