Installing the software

Important: If you are upgrading a 3-DNS Controller that belongs to a sync group, you must remove the controller from the sync group before you apply the release. Failure to do so may cause irrevocable damage to the controllers in the sync group that are running older versions of the software. Once you have upgraded all controllers to the same version, you can then re-create the sync group. For details on removing a controller from a sync group, see Removing a controller from a sync group. Once you have removed the controller from the sync group, you can proceed with the installation.

Note:  If you are installing the 3-DNS Controller module on a BIG-IP system, refer to the BIG-IP version 4.5.13 note for instructions on installing the software. Installing the 4.5.13 software on BIG-IP version 4.5 also applies the upgrade to the 3-DNS module. The enhancements, fixes, and known issues for the 3-DNS Controller, however, are available only in the 3-DNS Controller version 4.5.13 release note.

Note:  If you have installed prior releases, this installation does not overwrite any configuration changes that you made for the prior releases.

The following instructions explain how to install the 3-DNS Controller version 4.5.13 onto existing systems running version 4.2 and later. The installation script saves your current configuration.

Once you install and license the software, refer to the Required configuration changes section, which contains important information about changes you must make before using the new software.

  1. Go to the Downloads site and locate the 3-DNS version 4.5.13 upgrade file, BIGIP_4.5.13_Upgrade.im.

    3-DNS is not listed as a product line on the Downloads site; the image file is listed under the BIG-IP 4.x product line.

  2. Download the software image and the BIGIP_4.5.13_Upgrade.md5 file.

    For information about how to download software, refer to SOL167: Downloading software from F5 Networks.

  3. If you downloaded the image file to a directory other than /var/tmp, copy the image file to the /var/tmp/ directory on your 3-DNS system.

     

  4. Check the md5 of the upgrade file by typing the following command:
    md5 BIGIP_4.5.13_Upgrade.im
    cat BIGIP_4.5.13_Upgrade.md5

    The two md5 values should be identical.



  5. Install the IM by typing the following command:
    im BIGIP_4.5.13_Upgrade.im

The 3-DNS Controller automatically reboots once it completes installation.

Updating the big3d agent

After the installation has completed, you need to install the new version of the big3d agent on all BIG-IP systems known to the 3-DNS Controller, as follows:

  1. Log on to the 3-DNS Controller at the command line.

  2. Type 3dnsmaint to open the 3-DNS Maintenance menu.

  3. Select Install and Start big3d, and press Enter.
    The 3-DNS Controller detects all BIG-IP systems in the network, and updates their big3d agents with the appropriate version of the agent.

  4. Press Enter to return to the 3-DNS Maintenance menu.

  5. Type Q to quit.

For more information about the big3d agent, see the 3-DNS Reference Guide.

Activating the license

Once you install the upgrade and connect the controller to the network, you need a valid license certificate to activate the software. To obtain a license certificate, you need to provide two items to the license server: a registration key and a dossier.

The registration key  is a 25-character string. You should have received the key by email. The registration key lets the license server know which F5 products you are entitled to license.

The dossier  is obtained from the software, and is an encrypted list of key characteristics used to identify the platform.

You can obtain a license certificate using one of the following methods:

  • Automatic license activation
    You perform automatic license activation from the command line or from the web-based Configuration utility of an upgraded controller. This method automatically retrieves and submits the dossier to the F5 Networks license server, as well as installs the signed license certificate. In order for you to use this method, the controller must be installed on a network with Internet access.

  • Manual license activation
    You perform manual license activation from the Configuration utility, which is the browser-based user interface. With this method, you submit the dossier to, and retrieve the signed license file from, the F5 Networks license server manually. In order for you to use this method, the administrative work station must have Internet access.

Note:  You can open the Configuration utility using either Netscape Navigator version 4.7x, or Microsoft Internet Explorer version 5.0, 5.5, or 6.0.

To automatically activate a license from the command line for first time installation

  1. Type the user name root and the password default at the logon prompt.

  2. At the prompt, type license. The following prompts appear:
    IP:
    Netmask:
    Default Route:
    Select interface to use to retrieve license:

    The 3-DNS Controller uses this information to make an Internet connection to the license server.

  3. After you type the Internet connection information, continue to the following prompt:
    The Registration Key should have been included with the software or given when the order was placed. Do you have your Registration Key? [Y/N]:

    Type Y, and the following prompt displays:
    Registration Key:

  4. Type the 25-character registration key you received. If you received more than one key, enter all of the keys, separating each with a space.
    The controller retrieves and sends the dossier to the F5 Networks license server, and the F5 Networks license server returns and installs a signed license file. A message displays indicating the process was successful.

  5. You are asked to accept the End User License Agreement (EULA).
    Note that the system is not fully functional until you accept this agreement.

  6. Press Enter to reboot the system.
    The system is not fully functional until you reboot.



To automatically activate a license from the command line for upgrades

  1. Type your user name and password at the logon prompt.

  2. At the prompt, type setup.

  3. Choose menu option L.

  4. The following prompt displays:
    Number of keys: 1
    If you have more than one registration key, enter the appropriate number, and press Enter.

  5. The following prompt displays:
    Registration Key:

    Type the 25-character registration key you received. If you received more than one key, enter all of the keys, separating each with a space.
    The controller retrieves and sends the dossier to the F5 Networks license server, and the F5 Networks license server returns and installs a signed license file. A message displays indicating the process was successful.

Required configuration changes

Once you have installed the software, you must make the following required configuration changes, if appropriate.

Removing a controller from a sync group

If you are upgrading a 3-DNS Controller that belongs to a sync group, you must remove the controller from the sync group before you apply the upgrade. Once you have upgraded all controllers to the same version, you can then re-create the sync group. Once you have removed the controller from the sync group, you can proceed with the upgrade installation.

Note: You can re-create the sync group once you have upgraded the software for all of the controllers that belong to the sync group.

To remove a controller from a sync group using the Configuration utility

  1. In the navigation pane, click 3-DNS Sync.
    The Synchronization screen opens.

  2. In the Remove column, next to the controller that you want to remove from the sync group, click the Remove button.
    A popup screen opens to confirm the removal of the controller.

  3. Click OK.
    The screen refreshes, and the controller is no longer listed as a member of the sync group.

  4. Repeat these tasks for any additional sync group members that you want to remove from the sync group.

Alternately, you can remove the entire sync group, instead of removing the controllers one at a time.

To remove a sync group using the Configuration utility

  1. In the navigation pane, click 3-DNS Sync.
    The Synchronization screen opens.

  2. On the toolbar, click Remove this Group.
    A popup screen opens to confirm the removal of the sync group.

  3. Click OK.
    The screen refreshes, and the Add a New Sync Group screen opens, where you can re-create your sync group once you have upgraded the software on all of the controllers that belong to the sync group.
