As promised,
here’s the vCNS Edge upgrade step by step procedure.
Before upgrade
vCNS Edge you must upgrade vCNS Manager, if you haven’t done it yet, check the
vCNS Manager Upgrade step by step post. That’s required because vCNS Manager
holds the binaries to upgrade the others components, as vCNS Edge.
- Open vCNS
Manager Admin Page;
- Expand the Datacenters and select the Datacenter
where vCNS Edge is deployed at;
- Select Networking Virtualization tab and the
from the list of Edges select the one you would like to upgrade;
- Click on the Actions and select Upgrade;
- Click Yes to proceed with the upgrade.
During the
upgrade, there will be a brief network disruption to virtual machines that are
using the Edge as their default gateways. The effect is isolated to traffic
routed through the Edge Gateway, local traffic between virtual machines in
the same subnet will remain unaffected. Also VPN connections will be lost
and they will need to be reestablished.
My advice is to
perform this action only during periods of low utilization.
Analyze the
situation with caution before proceed.
