BIG-IQ setups that support an upgrade process to the current
version
The current setup of BIG-IQ Centralized Management affects the upgrade
process to BIG-IQ version
6.1.0
.
Your current BIG-IQ system must be version 5.2 or later to successfully upgrade to
version 6.1.0
. The following
system configurations support the upgrade to version 6.1.0
: - 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 the
current version, 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 Version 5.2,
5.3, 5.4, 6.0, or 6.0.1 to Version
6.1.0
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 Version 6.0 or
6.0.1 with a DCD Cluster to Version
6.1.0
with Minimal DowntimeThis 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
6.1.0
, one is undergoing an upgrade to version 6.1.0
, and one is still
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 the current version,
