Do **NOT** upgrade AO via yum, AO should only be upgraded by following the instructions on the `Upgrading AO`_ page. 

.. _Upgrading AO: ../upgradingAO/index.html

When Upgrading your operating system via yum, we recommend you first upgrade AO following the instructions at the link above, then exclude the AO repositories rom your upgrade by running the following command. 

   .. code-block:: console
   
      yum --disablerepo=awp-4.0 upgrade packagename
	  
.. note:: Do **NOT** edit the awp.repo, tortix.repo, or tortix-kernel.repo files. These files are automatically generated and any changes will be overwritten. 

Do **NOT** permanently disable the repositories mentioned above. You do not need to do this, and it will break the AO updater.
