ISSU upgrade steps and states

During the ISSU upgrade process, the switch might be in one of the states shown in

Table 16

.

Table 16 ISSU state description

State Description

Init

No ISSU states or an ISSU upgrade has completed.

Load

The standby MPU or a member switch is being upgraded or has been
upgraded. The rollback timer is created successfully and runs correctly.

Switching

Interface cards are being upgraded or the system is performing a rollback.

Switchover

Interface cards have been upgraded, and the upgraded standby MPU or
member switch has become the new active MPU or master.

Accept

The upgrading operation of the new active MPU or the new master is accepted,
and the rollback timer is automatically deleted. No auto-rollback is performed

during this ISSU upgrade process.

Commit (the state of the

standby MPU)

Multiple standby MPUs or member switches are available in the system, and at
least one standby MPU or member switch has not upgraded to the new version.

In this state, neither manual nor auto-rollback is performed during this ISSU
upgrade process.

ISSU states correspond to ISSU operations. The ISSU state changes and operations during the upgrade

process might vary depending on the software version compatibility state between the upgrade and the

current version. See

Figure 44

,

Figure 45

,

Figure 46

, and

Figure 47

.

The ISSU upgrade process proceeds step by step, and each operation corresponds to an ISSU state.

Except for the state change caused by expiration of the rollback timer, the ISSU state changes only when

you execute the corresponding command. For example, in

Figure 44

, "Upgrade the global standby

MPU", "Switchover & upgrade interface cards", "Accept the upgrade of the new global active MPU",
and "Upgrade another MPU" are the ISSU operations, and are completed by executing the issu load,

issu run switchover, issu accept, and issu commit commands respectively. Rollback is also an ISSU

operation, which can be triggered by either the expiration of the rollback timer or the execution of the

issu rollback command.
The arrows in the figures indicate the directions of state changes. For example, if you execute the issu

load command on the switch in the init state, the local standby MPU of the master upgrades to the new

version and its ISSU state changes to load. If you execute the issu rollback command on the IRF member

switch in load state, the local standby MPU of the master rolls back to the previous version and the ISSU
state changes back to init.
