Installing and Uninstalling a Hotfix on Quantum Maestro Orchestrators

You use the CPUSE on each Quantum Maestro Orchestrator to install the applicable hotfixes.

Important:

  • It is not supported to upgrade the CPUSE Agent on Quantum Maestro Orchestrators.

  • For the CPUSE instructions, see sk92449.

  • Jumbo Hotfix Accumulator reboots the Quantum Maestro Orchestrator after you install or uninstall it.

  • Quantum Maestro Orchestrator stops processing traffic from the start of the Jumbo Hotfix Accumulator installation or uninstall and until Quantum Maestro Orchestrator comes up from the reboot.

  • You must install the same Take of Jumbo Hotfix Accumulator on all Quantum Maestro Orchestrators on all Maestro Sites.

  • For the CPUSE instructions, see sk92449.

Best Practice - Before you install or uninstall a hotfix, take a Gaia Snapshot on each Quantum Maestro Orchestrator either in Gaia Portal, or Gaia Clish. For instructions, see the R81.20 Gaia Administration Guide > Chapter Maintenance > Section Snapshot Management.
