Current version of ACS system is 5.1.0.44

Primary ACS is also working as log collector.

I have downloaded the patch 5.1.0.44.6.rar.rar, so i belive i should rename it to 5.1.0.44.6.tar.gpg.

so if i want to upgrade my ACS system:

I will have to do following steps:

de-register secondary ACS from primary and take the backup of secondary ACS
update the patch using repository.
finally i will have to upgrade the primary ACS.

I would like to know what is the difference between installing / updating patch and Upgrade the ADE-OS version which is shown as second step in cisco.com site.
