Upgrading a Single Chassis System

With this procedure, you upgrade half of the SGMs at one time. The other half continues to handle traffic.

Step

Action

Command

1

Prepare to upgrade.

1.1

Make sure that all SGMs and SSMs are up to date and that system is configured correctly.

# asg diag verify

1.2

Copy the R76SP.20 snapshot to /var/log/ on SMO

 

1.3

copy minor_upgrade script to /var/log/

 

1.4

Set execution permissions.

# chmod +x /var/log/minor_upgrade

1.5

Run the minor_upgrade script

# /var/log/minor_upgrade pre r76sp_20_t_60.tar single

1.6

Make sure that the snapshot is correctly installed on al SGMs.

> show snapshots

1.7

Divide the SGMs into two groups (A and B).

Group A SGMs are active and continue to handle traffic while you upgrade group B SGMs. You then fail over Group A to Group B, which handles traffic while you upgrade Group A SGMs.

2

Revert group B SGMs to a snapshot.

2.1

Set group B SGMs to DOWN

> asg sgm_admin -b <group_B_SGMs> down

2.2

Revert Chassis B to the snapshot

# g_snapshot –b <group_B_SGMs> -a revert r76sp_20_t_60

2.3

Make sure that all SGMs complete the revert operation successfully and can enforce policies.

# asg monitor -all

3

Prepare for SGM Fail Over.

3.1

Set group B SGMs to Admin UP.

> asg sgm_admin -b <group_B_SGMs> up

3.2

Run diagnostics for verification

# /var/log/minor_upgrade during

 

Important - You must correct all errors shown by the diagnostics before you continue to the next step.

4

Fail Over group B SGMs.

 

4.1

Set group A SGMs to Admin DOWN. This action starts the failover.

> asg sgm_admin -b <group_A_SGMs> down

4.2

Make sure all SGMs are up and that traffic flows normally on group B SGMs.

> asg monitor -vs all
> asg perf -vs all

 

Important - You must make sure that Group B SGMs work correctly before you upgrade Group A SGMs.

5

Upgrade group A SGMs.

5.1

Do steps 2.2 through 3.2 to upgrade SGM group A.

Replace 'group B' with 'group A' in all applicable actions and commands.

6

Upgrade the SSM firmware on all SSMs.

 

Note: There will be some downtime during these steps.

6.1

Connect a console to one of the SGMs.

6.2

From the console, upgrade the firmware on all SSMs.

# asg_ssm_upgrade ssm all

7

Complete the Upgrade.

7.1

Run the minor_upgrade script.

# /var/log/minor_upgrade post R76SP single

7.2

Make sure all SGMs and SSMs are up to date and that the system is configured correctly.

# asg diag verify
