Setting up F5 Guided Configuration for SSL Orchestrator

If you do not have an existing SSL Orchestrator add-on license, or a previous version of SSL Orchestrator installed, then to install the F5 Guided Configuration for SSL Orchestrator 16.1.1-9.1 download the image from downloads.f5.com. For complete step-by-step installation instructions, see the
BIG-IP Systems: Upgrading Software
guide. The F5 Guided Configuration for SSL Orchestrator 9.1 image is packaged with the F5 BIG-IP 16.1.1 image.
SSL Orchestrator 9.1 version is not supported on BIG-IP 16.1.0. The minimum ISO version required to support SSL Orchestrator 9.1 is BIG-IP 16.1.1.
Refer to the Update or Upgrade the F5 SSL Orchestrator chapter in the
BIG-IP update and upgrade
guide, if you have an existing add-on license or want to upgrade to the newest version of SSL Orchestrator. These procedures walk you through the detailed installation and upgrade details of existing SSL Orchestrator applications and RPMs before installing the new ISO image.
If you are upgrading from SSL Orchestrator version 13.x.x or 14.0.x (known as the forklift upgrade), you must follow the recommended upgrade procedure to undeploy your previous SSL Orchestrator deployments. This procedure includes uninstalling your previous version of the application. If these steps are not followed, further manual steps are required to reset your environment and undeploy the previous version found in the
F5 Guided Configuration for SSL Orchestrator: Upgrade Recovery
guide.
These upgrade steps are required since in some cases previously deployed SSL Orchestrator configurations cannot be rolled forward or imported into the new version of SSL Orchestrator. Following one of the recommended upgrade procedures will assist you in preparing your system for a clean installation.
If you are implementing a high availability environment for SSL Orchestrator, refer to the Update or Upgrade the F5 SSL Orchestrator chapter in the
BIG-IP update and upgrade
guide for more information.
After upgrading SSL Orchestrator from version 5.x, 6.x, or 7.x, one or more existing configurations may show an error due to inconsistent egress information. For example, if the System Setting in version 7.0 had an egress setting of IPv4 while the topology setting was IPv6, the IPv6 topology’s egress setting will show an error after the upgrade. To fix, locate the error(s) and update the configuration with the correct egress information (such as egress gateway pool or SNAT settings) and redeploy.
Refer to the F5 SSL Orchestrator Deployment guide for details on managing and creating topologies and services.
