Upgrading 10.2.1 to 10.2.4
Hi Everyone
I have some question about upgrading 10.2.1 into 10.2.4.
Here is my BIG-IP settings
1. Active / Standby Mode
2. have vlan failsafe
3. use only hardwire failover
here is a question
1. Must I unplug hardwire failover before upgrading?
2. Must I clear vlan failsafe (of both unit) before upgrading?
3. Can I just >> Install version 10.2.4 in standby unit >> reboot >> force to standby at Active unit >> Install version 10.2.4 in Standby unit >> reboot >> failback >> Finished ?
Thank you

Thank you very much
- nitassEmployee1. Must I unplug hardwire & clear network before upgrading?generally network failover won't work when upgrading major version (e.g. 10.x to 11.x) but hardware failover still works (i.e. can control active/standby state) because it does not use heartbeat packet. actually, disabling/unplugging network failover is to prevent service interruption (e.g. active/active situation) while upgrading. if you disconnect all network cables from one of units, even units go active/active it won't cause service interruption.
