NimbostratusViprion version upgrade
My host is running on version 15.x and wanted to upgrade on 17.x but one of guest is running on 14.x so if I upgrade the host from 15.x to 17.x thn is there any issue occurs in the behaviour of guest who is running on 14.x or need to upgrade the guest first to 15 or 17
Hi SumitMate15, thanks for dropping the question here and I'll assist to answer your query.
First things first, there wouldn't be any issue in the behaviour of the guest if you decide to upgrade the host from version 15.x to 17.x. and F5 recommends that you upgrade the host first then the guest.
Secondly, I would like to highlight that version 14 has reached its end of technical support (EoTS) since December 31, 2023. You can refer to this knowledge article on the EoTS here, K5903: BIG-IP software support policy. Therefore, it's ideal that you upgrade the guest as well.
You can refer to this knowledge article for more information, and there are videos embedded for your guidance on how to Update or upgrade BIG-IP VIPRION systems (vCMP)and K000150091: Upgrading BIG-IP VIPRION vCMP systems
Hope this answer your queries.
Cheers,
Mo
