How to Upgrade to Cloudpath Version 5.4.4284

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT REPLICATED VIRTUAL MACHINES

If you currently have a replicated-VM setup, and if you are trying to upgrade the cluster, please stop now. Replicated VM upgrade is not supported at this time. While replication will be supported in later releases, it is not available in this version of 5.4. If you have a replicated system that you are trying to upgrade, please wait for future releases that will support this capability.

Upgrading From Cloudpath Version 5.2.3585 or Later:

If you are updating from Cloudpath Version 5.2.3585 or later, navigate to Administration > System Updates. You must first download the support patch that is displayed on the screen and install the patch on the Support > Upload Support File page. After the system reboots, return to Administration > System Updates and proceed to download and install the update.

Upgrading From Cloudpath Version 5.0.3314 to 5.1.3483:

To update from versions in the range of 5.0.3314 to 5.1.3483, you can use one of two methods.The first method is to do the following:

1. Upgrade to any 5.2.xxxx version by following the instructions in the these release notes for upgrading to the desired 5.2build.
2. Upgrade to 5.4.4270 by following the instructions in the preceding section called "Upgrading From Cloudpath Version5.2.3585 or Later."

The second method, which is a faster method but requires deploying a new OVA, is to do the following:

1. Deploy a new 5.4.4270 OVA.
2. Import the database from the existing system from the command-line configuration utility (klish command) of the newOVA system:

   #maintenance cannibalize [oldsystemhostname]

3. After the import is finished, you can accept the prompt to have the system automatically move the IP address to the newsystem and shut down the old system.

For more information about how to perform a database import for upgrades, refer to the Cloudpath Enrollment System Upgrade Guide.

Upgrading From Cloudpath Version 5.0.3302 or Earlier:

Minimum Wizard Version:

Cloudpath version 5.4 requires a minimum version of the wizard. When performing a system update from the Admin UI or by using database import, the system automatically updates your Cloudpath wizard to the appropriate version.

Snapshots:

When upgrading your system, all previous snapshots will remain in the system, will be labeled not compatible, and will not be selectable for active snapshots. As part of the upgrade process, a new snapshot is created with the latest wizard build. This automatic snapshot creation allows the system to be fully updated and usable when the upgrade is finished.
