BIG-IQ setups that support an upgrade process to version 6.0.1
The current setup of BIG-IQ Centralized Management affects the upgrade process
to BIG-IQ version 6.0.1. Your current BIG-IQ system must be version 5.2 or later to
successfully upgrade to version 6.0.1. The following system configurations support the
upgrade to version 6.0.1:
- BIG-IQ system configuration includes a data collection device cluster.
- BIG-IQ system configuration does not include a data collection device cluster.
BIG-IQ version 5.2 system setups
To upgrade your BIG-IQ system from version 5.2 to version
6.0.1, use the upgrade process that supports your system's
configuration.
BIG-IQ system does not include a data collection device
cluster
BIG-IQ Centralized Management: Upgrading a Version 5.2,
5.3, 5.4, or 6.0.0 System without a Data Collection Device Cluster to BIG-IQ
Version 6.0.1
This example represents a BIG-IQ setup that
includes a high-availability (HA) pair of BIG-IQ systems. During the upgrade, the
BIG-IQ services to BIG-IP devices are unavailable until the upgrade process is
complete. This can result in a downtime of services. The amount of downtime depends
on the size of your system's setup. BIG-IQ services resume when the primary device
is upgraded and restarted.
BIG-IQ system includes a data collection device cluster
with minimal downtime
BIG-IQ Centralized Management: Upgrading a Version 6.0
System with a Data Collection Device Cluster to BIG-IQ 6.0.1 with Minimal
Downtime
This figure represents a BIG-IQ setup
that includes a high-availability (HA) pair of BIG-IQ systems and a data collection
device (DCD) cluster that contains three devices. Each device in the DCD cluster
continues to collect data until you start the upgrade process. Data collection for
all devices resumes only after all devices in the DCD cluster are upgraded and
restarted. For this example, there are three data collection devices: one has
already completed the upgrade to version 6.0.1, one is undergoing an upgrade to
version 6.0.1, and one is collecting data as version 6.0.
This upgrade procedure with minimal downtime supports
BIG-IQ system setups that include a minimum of three data collection devices.
BIG-IQ version 5.3 system setups
To upgrade your BIG-IQ system from version 5.3 to version 6.0.1, use the
upgrade process that supports your system's configuration.
BIG-IQ system does not include a data collection device
cluster

or 6.0 System with a Data Collection Device Cluster to BIG-IQ Version
6.0.1
This example represents a BIG-IQ setup
that includes a high-availability (HA) pair of BIG-IQ systems and a data collection
device (DCD) cluster. During the upgrade, all devices in the DCD cluster are
deactivated until they are all upgraded. During this time, data is not collected
from the managed BIG-IP devices. Data collection resumes when all of the devices in
the DCD cluster are upgraded and restarted.
BIG-IQ version 6.0 setups
To upgrade your BIG-IQ system from version 6.0 to version
6.0.1, use the upgrade process that supports your setup and meets your
downtime requirements.
