This section describes the upgrade procedure of M-SBC instances in N:1 Redundancy Group (RG).

Prerequisite

Perform the following activities prior to upgrading the M-SBC in an RG.

Download the Software Image

Download the required .QCOW2 and .md5 files from the Customer Portal.

Upload the Software Image to OpenStack

To upload the .QCOW2 file to the OpenStack, navigate to Project > Compute > Images. For more information, refer to Creating Glance Image.

Check the Status of the Instances

In an M-SBC Redundancy Group, ensure all the five instances (4:1), the SBC Configurator instance, and EMS is up and running.

To check the instances, navigate to Project > Compute > Instances. The Instances window is displayed. The Instances window displays the status of the current image.

Identify the

Assigned Standby Instance

To identify the currently running assigned standby instance, perform the following steps:

1. Log on to CLI of any of the instances as admin user. Execute the following command and check the values value of the parameters parameter assignedRole and currentRole. For the currently running standby instance, the currentRole value must be standby..  

   Code Block

   > show status system rgStatus rgStatus vsbc1-192.168.2.3 { actualCeName vsbc1; assignedRole active; currentRole active; nodeId 1; serviceId 0; syncStatus syncCompleted; usingMetavarsOf vsbc1-192.168.2.3; appVersion V06.02.01A013; } rgStatus vsbc1-192.168.2.4 { actualCeName vsbc1; assignedRole standby; currentRole standby; nodeId 2; serviceId 1; syncStatus unprotectedRunningStandby; usingMetavarsOf vsbc1-192.168.2.4; appVersion V06.02.01A013; } rgStatus vsbc1-192.168.2.5 { actualCeName vsbc1; assignedRole active; currentRole active; nodeId 3; serviceId 2; syncStatus syncCompleted; usingMetavarsOf vsbc1-192.168.2.5; appVersion V06.02.01A013; } rgStatus vsbc1-192.168.2.6 { actualCeName vsbc1; assignedRole active; currentRole active; nodeId 4; serviceId 3; syncStatus syncCompleted; usingMetavarsOf vsbc1-192.168.2.6; appVersion V06.02.01A013; } rgStatus vsbc1-192.168.2.7 { actualCeName vsbc1; assignedRole active; currentRole active; nodeId 5; serviceId 4; syncStatus syncCompleted; usingMetavarsOf vsbc1-192.168.2.7; appVersion V06.02.01A013; }

2. From the output of the standby instance, check the IP address, mentioned in the "Instance Rg Name". It corresponds to the ha-net IP address of that instance. For example, in the above output, IP address "192.168.2.4" corresponds to ha-net IP for the standby instance with Instance Rg Name: vsbc1-192.168.2.4.

3. From the OpenStack dashboard, note the Management IP of the standby instance by comparing the ha-net IP.

Upgrade Process

Perform the following steps to upgrade.

1. On OpenStack, navigate to Project > Compute > Instances. The Instances window is displayed.

2. Anchor
   Rebuild Rebuild

   From the drop-down list corresponding to the standby instance, select the option Rebuild Instance.

   Ensure to proceed with the rebuilding of the rest of the instances only when the rgstatus shows syncStatus as unprotectedRunningStandby.


4. Repeat the steps (1 to 3 from the Upgrading M-SBC in N:1 Redundancy Group section) to upgrade the active instances one by one. Before upgrading an instance, the rgStatus must show syncStatus as syncCompleted
   check syncStatus field in rgStatus output to ensure that all the currently active instances are in syncCompleted state. The standby instance displays syncStatus as unprotectedRunningStandby. For more information, see section Upgrading M-SBC in N:1 Redundancy Group.

   Once the rebuilds are completed, all the instances will be running with the upgraded image details.

Post-Upgrade Monitoring

To verify if the instances are up and running with the upgraded software image:

1. Log on to CLI of any of the instances as admin user.

2. Execute the following command and check the appVersion field for each of the instances. Check syncStatus field in rgStatus output to ensure that all the currently active instances are in syncCompleted state. The standby instance displays syncStatus as unprotectedRunningStandby.

   Code Block
