Upgrading a VSX Gateway

Important:

• Before you begin, make sure the target VSX or Virtual Devices objects in SmartConsole are currently not edited or locked by other administrators. The vsx_util command cannot modify the management database if the database is locked. When the locked VSX and Virtual Devices objects become available, begin the vsx_util procedure again.
• Before you begin, make sure to back up the entire VSX environment - both the Management Server and the target VSX Gateways / VSX Cluster Members.

To upgrade a VSX Gateway to R80.10:

1. On the Management Server, log in to Expert mode.
2. On a Multi-Domain Server, go to the context of the Main Domain Management Server that manages the object of the target VSX Gateway / VSX Cluster:

   # mdsenv <IP address or Name of Main Domain Management Server>

3. Run:

   # vsx_util upgrade

   When prompted, enter this information:

   1. IP address or Name of Security Management Server / Main Domain Management Server
   2. Administrator name and password for Security Management Server / Main Domain Management Server
   3. Target VSX Gateway / VSX Cluster Member object
   4. Version to which you need to upgrade - R80.10
4. Wait for the operation to complete successfully and for this message to show:

   Do you wish to reconfigure the gateway/cluster members? (y|n)

5. If you are using CPUSE to upgrade the VSX Gateway / VSX Cluster Member, skip this step.

   To use clean install, enter y.

   When prompted, enter this information:

   1. IP address or Name of Security Management Server / Main Domain Management Server
   2. Administrator name and password for Security Management Server / Main Domain Management Server
   3. SIC activation key for the upgraded VSX Gateway / VSX Cluster Member

   The operation completes successfully, and this message shows:

   Reconfigure module operation completed successfully

   1. Install the necessary licenses.
   2. Reboot the reconfigured VSX Gateway / VSX Cluster Member.
6. If you are using CPUSE to upgrade the VSX Gateway / VSX Cluster Member, enter n and follow these instructions:
   1. In Gaia Clish, switch to the main VSX context:

      set virtual-system 0

   2. Import the upgrade file into the CPUSE repository:

      installer import local <file_name>

   3. Make sure that the file is in the repository:

      show installer packages

   4. Start the upgrade. Enter:

      installer upgrade <package_number>

   5. Press the Tab key to see the upgrade options.
   6. From the list, select the file to install.
