Prerequisites for In-Place Upgrade
-
Upgrade to Cisco Smart PHY 22.3 is possible only from Cisco Smart PHY 22.2.1. Upgrade from any releases before 22.2.1 does not support a direct upgrade to Cisco Smart PHY 22.3. Only the following upgrade options are available:
-
Upgrading from Cisco Smart PHY 22.1 to Cisco Smart PHY 22.2
-
Upgrading from Cisco Smart PHY 22.2 to Cisco Smart PHY 22.2.1
Use the Deployer tool bundled along with the software package.
-
-
Ensure that the cluster configuration file (Day-0 Config File), used during installation is available.
-
Ensure that the SSH user private key for Smart PHY Cluster and Deployer VM is available.
Note
-
The SSH user private key is generated at the time of Smart PHY installation and is available in the installation folder.
-
SSH to all the cluster VMs should be possible through the cluster private key.
-
Ensure the user and group for the private key file is same as the user running the upgrade operation.
-
-
Ensure that Deployer VM admin password and all application-specific OpsCenter passwords (cee-opscenter, opshub-opscenter, and smartphy-opscenter) are available, and match with the previous deployment.
-
Ensure that a Staging environment having network connectivity with Deployer VM and Cluster VMs is available.
-
Ensure all the cluster VMs are up and running using vCenter or by checking the individual cluster.
-
Ensure that all the clocks of all the ESXi host's involved in the upgrade are synchronized.
-
Ensure that the clocks for the staging server, Deployer VM, and Cluster VM are in sync; preferably pointing to the same NTP server.
-
Ensure that the cluster does not have the following critical alerts that are related to disk usage:
-
node-disk-running-Low-24hours
-
node-disk-running-Low-2hours
-
node-disk-running-full-24hours
-
node-disk-running-full-2hours
Note
In case you see any of these alerts, contact Cisco Technical support.
-
-
Ensure that from the Staging environment, the deploy tool must have connectivity to the following resources:
-
Local DNS server
-
vCenter server
-
NTP server
