Step 1: Prepare for upgrade
The upgrade process is divided into 3 major parts for all the virtual appliances in which the Prepare for upgrade is the first step. You need to perform below steps to prepare the virtual appliances for upgrade using the klish commands:
Steps to perform upgrade
- On KLISH menu of the RM appliance, execute the below command to prepare the RM for upgrade.
updates > prepare-for-update
- A pre-upgrade checklist is integrated with the prepare-for-update command to validate the virtual appliance. This checklist is applicable to Resiliency Manager only. For more details, refer Pre-upgrade checklist
Note:
If your data center consists of multiple Resiliency Managers, you have to execute this command on any one RM appliance. This command will prepare all the other RMs for the upgrade. It will also take the backup of all the configurations and power off all the RMs.
- Wait until the RM appliance is powered off automatically. On the RM appliance console, a message appears as "The system is going down for power-off now.
To upgrade the IMS appliance to the latest version, repeat the steps 1-3 on all the available IMS appliances.
The next step is Upgrading the Resiliency Platform (Attach / detach the disk) where it is required to detach the data disk of the previous version virtual appliances and attach it to the current version virtual appliance.
See Step 2: Upgrading the Resiliency Platform (Detach / attach the disk).
Since the upgrade procedure is different for the environments supported by the Resiliency Platform, the steps are different for each environment.
