Upgrading the Secondary BIG-IQ
Upload the latest version of the software image to the secondary BIG-IQ
Before you can upload the software image to the secondary BIG-IQ system, you must have
first downloaded it from the F5 Downloads site. After you upgrade the primary BIG-IQ system, you can upgrade the secondary BIG-IQ system.
You upload the BIG-IQ version software image to the secondary BIG-IQ system to make it available for this upgrade.
When the image is done uploading, it
shows in the Available Images list.
Manually upgrade the secondary BIG-IQ to version 6.0.1
Before you can upgrade the secondary BIG-IQ system, you must have uploaded the software to
it.
The primary BIG-IQ is upgraded automatically, directly after the devices in the DCD cluster are finished upgrading, but you have to manually upgrade the secondary BIG-IQ system.
CAUTION:
Use the following command only in very
specific circumstances, such as this one, since it clears the majority of a
BIG-IQ system's configuration. Before you run the command, be sure you are on
the secondary BIG-IQ system. This command removes all stored data. If you run
this command from the primary BIG-IQ system, you'll permanently lose all of your
saved data.
Wait while the BIG-IQ secondary device upgrade
process completes. During this time, it is important that you not interrupt the
installation process by restarting services or the server. When the BIG-IQ upgrades, it
becomes inaccessible briefly. When you can log in to the BIG-IQ again, the process is
complete.
