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
7.0.0
.
Your current BIG-IQ system must be version 5.2 or later to successfully upgrade to
version
7.0.0
. The following
system configurations support the upgrade to version
7.0.0
:
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 without a data collection device cluster
BIG-IQ Centralized Management:
Upgrading from Version 5.2, 5.3, 5.4, 6.0.x, 6.1 without a Data Collection
Device Cluster to Version 7.0
This example represents a BIG-IQ in a high
availability configuration. During the upgrade, the BIG-IQ suspends BIG-IP device
management. 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 active
BIG-IQ is upgraded and restarted.
BIG-IQ includes a data collection device cluster with
minimal downtime
BIG-IQ Centralized Management:
Upgrading Version 6.0.x System with a Data Collection Device Cluster to BIG-IQ
7.0 with Minimal Downtime
This figure represents BIG-IQ in a
high-availability (HA) configuration with a data collection device (DCD) cluster.
The DCD cluster continues to collect data until you start the upgrade process. Data
collection for all BIG-IP 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 7.0, one is undergoing an
upgrade to version 7.0, and one is collecting data as version 6.0.x.
This upgrade procedure with minimal downtime
supports BIG-IQ configuration that include a minimum of three data collection
devices.
