Steps to upgrade a vCMP host.
According to this article, the steps to upgrade a vCMP host are: Re-activate the host license. Shutdown the guests one at a time by setting the requested state to Configured. Proceed with the upgrade. Is this correct? I've also read (and been told) that you should set the guests to Provision before upgrading. So is it Configured or Provision?
Adding Viprion Blade Management Address in Production
Hi every one. I have 2 Viprion with 2 blade cluster identic on each viprion. i have situation were when i create a new vcmp guest on Viprion02 and assign an ip address, that ip address is unreachable from the network (all other vcmp guest is reachable). When i checked on the bash linux for the mgmt address, there is no ip address were on the system-platform i can see the same ip address for the management. But this issue is not happen on Viprion01. I take a look for the viprion02 cluster blade. Only cluster IP is configured and No blade management ip is configured. Not like in Viprion01, All blade have its own management IP. I would like to add management ip address on Viprion02 blade. 1. Will there is an impact on the production? I have tried read about the viprion and assume it should not give any impact due to management ip is distinct with management blackplane were used for blade inter communication, traffic handling, and sync. 2. Which HA is that doc talking about? Blade HA is active active right? And Guest HA using its own management IP, not the blade management address. Thank YouMove to standby all vcmps to update HOST (VIPRION)
Hello, Is there a way to force all vcmps to standby? I have 2 VIPRION and I want to re-license one of them previous to upgrade the BIG-IP version running on it. So I need to move all guests from one Host to other VIPRION to prevent loss of service. Running the following command you can see the state; active or standby, for all vcmps: # tmsh show vcmp | sed '/Vcmp::Guest Prompt/,/^$/!d' I´m trying to failover from HOSTA to HOSTB all guest with status: /Sn-green-P:Active. Is this possible?How to rebuild vCMP guest VM - Viprion deployment
Hi, I wonder if anyone had issue vCMP guest VM failure on one slot. I have three slot Viprion with guests set to all slots. After upgrade guest started but the guest VM on slot 2 failed. So now guest is running only on two slots. Slot 2 VM seems to be completely dead: No way to SSH using this slot member IP ssh slot 2 from slot 1 not working vconsole [guest name] 2 from host not working I was not able to test tmsh reboot slot 2 from guest slot 1 (Primary) but I highly doubt it will work. Sure I will try reboot guest chassis (like tmsh reboot slot all ) but what if slot 2 VM will not boot again? Any proven procedure? My idea is to: Change guest state to configured Disable guest on slot 2 Change state to provisioned - according to info collected: VM will be deleted vdisk will be preserved I think vdisk on slot 2 should be removed - hope can be done via host GUI vCMP ›› Virtual Disk List After clean up: Change state to configured Enable guest on all slots (original setting) Change state to provisioned, I assume that: VM will be created vdisk will be copied from primary slot Change state to deployed Should it work? Any better/safer way? Piotr
Viprion Upgrade - How to make sure existing config is copied
Hi, We've got a number of Viprions (No vCMP, 1 blade) which I need to upgrade from 11.4.1 to 11.5.1. However when I get to the Boot Locations the option to copy config is greyed out and set to no. As these boxes are in a remote location, with no serial connectivity I don't really want to reboot without the existing config being copied over (especially the bigip_base.conf). Surprised that there isn't a SOL document (that I can find!) which explains the situation as having the config not come over is a major issue (and drawback). Can somebody confirm the precises steps to carry out to upgrade a Viprion and make the config move over as well. Many thanks in advance
