Use the following procedure to recover the SBC SWe HA on public cloud after reverting to a pre-11.0 release if the SBC application does not come up on both the active and standby nodes.

This procedure is only applicable if the system is upgraded from a pre-11.0 release to this release using the following method:

  • Bring up the SBC HA application with a pre-11.0 release on public cloud (For example, AWS).
  • Upgrade both the active and standby SBC to this release using the recommended upgrade method.
