76 Upgrading the NVG Software
For minor and major releases, the software upgrade will take part
synchronously among the set of VPN Gateways in a cluster. If one or
more VPN Gateways are not operational when the software is upgraded,
they will automatically pick up the new version when they are started.
Note: If more than one software upgrade has been performed to a
cluster while a VPN Gateway has been out of operation, the VPN
Gateway must be reinstalled with the software version currently in use
in that cluster. For more information about how to perform a reinstall,
see
“Reinstalling the Software” (page 70) .
When you have downloaded the software upgrade package, you can
inspect its status with the
/boot/software/cur command.
Step Action
1 At the Software Management# prompt, enter the following
command:
>> Software Management# cur
Version Name Status
------- ---- ------
7.0.1 SSL unpacked
5.1.5 SSL permanent
The downloaded software upgrade package is indicated with the
status
unpacked . The software versions can be marked with
one out of four possible status values. The meaning of these
status values are:
•
unpacked means that the software upgrade package has
been downloaded and automatically decompressed.
•
permanent means that the software is operational and will
survive a reboot of the system.
•
old means the software version has been permanent but
is not currently operational. If a software version marked old
is available, it is possible to switch back to this version by
activating it again.
•
current means that a software version marked as old or
unpacked has been activated. As soon as the system has
performed the necessary health checks, the current status
changes to permanent.
To activate the unpacked software upgrade package, use the
activate command.
