Note

When you click Test Boot, the system tests the new image for five minutes. If you let the five-minute test period expire without committing to the new image, the system automatically reboots and reverts to the previous image.

A new page appears, and you see a message telling you that the system will be rebooted. Do not click anything on this page.

5.If you did not choose the test boot option, the upgrade is complete after the appliance reboots. You do not need to do anything else.

If performed a test boot and want the system to continue using the new image, you have five minutes after the system restarts to select Commit Testboot. If you do not, the system automatically reboots the previous image in five minutes.

Upgrading Nokia IPSO Images for a Cluster

You can use Cluster Voyager to upgrade the Nokia IPSO image on all the cluster nodes. After you see that the new image is successfully installed on all of the nodes, you need to reboot them so that they will run the new image. For more information about Cluster Voyager, see “Managing a Cluster” on page 231 in the section on configuring traffic management.

Rebooting a Cluster

When you click Reboot, Shut Down System on the main configuration page in Cluster Voyager, you see the Cluster Traffic Safe Reboot link. If you click this link, the cluster nodes are rebooted in a staggered manner. The process is managed so that at least one node is always operational.

For example, if you reboot a two-node cluster, one node restarts first. The second node waits for the first node to restart successfully and rejoin the cluster before it reboots. If the first node does not successfully rejoin the cluster, the first node does not reboot.

Downgrading Nokia IPSO Images

When you downgrade an IPSO image, the system behaves differently depending on whether the version you are downgrading to was previously installed on the appliance:

„When you revert to a previously installed IPSO version, the system accesses and uses the network connectivity information configured for that version.

„When you downgrade to an earlier IPSO version that has never been installed on your appliance, the system carries over the configuration information related to basic connectivity. This functionality allows you to perform this type of downgrade over a network connection.

You can use this method to downgrade to IPSO 3.6 and later.
