My first BIG-IP upgrade
Hi guys/gals,
I have a change upgrading some LTMs from 10.2.0 to 10.2.3
I'm having a bit of issue wrapping my head around the concept and I don't want to mess this up. This is VERY important to my customer.
From what I understand I have to :
1.Copy the new image to /sharred/images
2.Check md5
2.Check partioning with "switchboot -l" and make sure i have a free partiton
3.If necessary make new partition with image2disk
4."b software" command to install a new image.
5.Boot new image as default
6.Reboot
What I still have issue with (if what I described above is correct) is how to do it on active/redundant pair ?
Do I have to check how they are peered i.e network/serial and turn of high-avalability during change because different BIG-IP versions don't support redundancy ?
If I do it on standby first how can I test to make sure it is ok before moving to the active ?
Any advice is welcome.
