Restoring the Backup File System

Canceling an Upgrade

To cancel a software upgrade that is underway for a series of appliances, click Cancel. Appliance upgrades that are in progress will complete their upgrades but no additional upgrades will be initiated. The upgraded appliances will reboot if you selected Reboot appliances after operations complete.

For ETEP appliances, the result for the upgrades in progress is listed as “in operation.” Upgrades on appliances that have not yet received the upgrade command are cancelled. Their status is reported as “canceled.”

What to do if an Upgrade is Interrupted

If the upgrade operation is interrupted or times out prior to completion, refer to the results table to see which appliances were successfully upgraded and which were not. For appliances that were not successfully upgraded do the following:

1Make a note of the appliance name and problem description in the Result column.

2Close the Upgrade Appliances window.

3Fix the problem with the appliance.

4Select the target appliances and restart the software upgrade operation.

Checking Upgrade Status

You can check on the status of an upgrade using two methods:

●In ETEMS, configure a syslog server to receive events generated by the ETEP. Several system log events with a priority level of “notice” are generated by the ETEP during the upgrade process.

●The show upgrade-statusand show system-logCLI commands provide status on the upgrade process. During an upgrade the CLI is available from the serial port, but you cannot initiate an SSH session until the upgrade is complete. The show commands are available in ETEP 1.5 and later.

Restoring the Backup File System

The restore operation restores the backup copy of the appliance file system. This operation is available through ETEMS only on ETEP appliances. For other appliance models, use the CLI commands to restore the file system from a backup copy.

As part of the software upgrade process the ETEP preserves a backup copy of the file system. The backup copy of the appliance file system contains a software image, configuration files, policies and keys, certificates, log files, and passwords. Restoring the backup file system replaces the current file system with the backup files.

The restore operation can be reversed. The restore operation essentially toggles between the current file system and the backup image. Each time you issue the restore command, the appliance switches its running image to whichever file system is not currently in use.
