Hello,
I have worked in the past with physical appliances only, but now I got (in a project) an existing VSX cluster too and I have to update it with recommended Hotfix. It's the following environment:
2*5100 appliances with ClusterXL in HA-mode (which I already updated to R81.20 Take 98)
2*5100 appliances with CP VSX Cluster in HA-mode and two VS instances + VSW (also on R81.20 but old Hotfix)
As all nodes have no Internet access (and I had some issues with access to WebUI, but different topic), I made all updates (on physical Cluster) via CLI:
Task 1 – provide Image to machines
- Download required Image from Internet to PC
- Create directory on machines (like /var/log/Upg-prep)
- Copy downloaded image to created directory on machines
Task 2 - create Snapshot/Backup/CPinfo, save config
- (Clish) add snapshot-onetime name <name> description “<desc>”
- (Clish) add backup local interactive
- (Clish) save configuration <filename>
- cpinfo
copy the created files to a save place
Task 3 – update Deployment Agent
- (Clish) installer agent install /var/log/Upg-prep/DeploymentAgent_<version>.tgz
- (Clish) show installer status
Task 4 – import downloaded package and install on node B (Backup/standby)
- (Clish) show installer packages
- (Clish) installer import local /var/log/Upg-prep/Check_P…
- (Clish) installer verify <Package #>
- (Clish) installer install <Package #>
- check version with cpinfo -y fw1
Task 5– import downloaded package and install on node A (Primary/now standby)
- (Clish) show installer packages
- (Clish) installer import local /var/log/Upg-prep/Check_P…
- (Clish) installer verify <Package #>
- (Clish) installer install <Package #>
- check version with cpinfo -y fw1
Now my question is: can I do the update on VSX Cluster in the same way or do I have to add some more commands?
Could you please advise (as we don't have a test environment...).
Thanks in advance
Peter
