1. In case there is an absolute need to upgrade the system VM template due to availability of security patches,
58+
update in a package provided by the template, or in case live-patch doesn't seem to work for any reason
59+
then please follow the legacy method of upgrading system VMs and virtual routers by recreating the system

VM, which would mean noticible downtime.

2. There is a known limitation in the System VM / VR live patch feature. If a VPC network either doesn't have any network tiers
64+
or has no network tier in the **Implemented** state, then live patching is skipped on the associated VPC VR(s). In such a case, use the traditional workflow
65+
of upgrading the system VMs and virtual routers - by either restarting the corresponding network with cleanup, or restarting the system VMs.
