Software Upgrade Process (Viprion & vCMP)
Hi,
I have one Basic query. In Client network, we have Viprion (model 2400) with 2 Blade (model 2150). On each viprion , there are 5 vCMP created on both blades. We need to upgrade the IOS/Software from 11.x to latest version.
My Query is
Do we need to upgrade viprion only ? in this case all the vCMP gets upgrades? or
Do we need to upgrade individual vCMP on viprion ? or
Do we need to upgrade module/Blade wise ?
thanks in advance.
You need to upgrade both Viprion chesis n vcmp guest also. F5 v11.3 onwards you can directly upgrade guest n later update Viprion chesis.
I will recommend you to 1st upgrade Viprion chesis then vcmp guest because in Viprion chesis you need to re- licence Viprion before upgrade guest.

It's up to you but F5 recommedation is to upgrade 1st host then guest.
