The documentation set for this product strives to use bias-free language. For the purposes of this documentation set, bias-free is defined as language that does not imply discrimination based on age, disability, gender, racial identity, ethnic identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and intersectionality. Exceptions may be present in the documentation due to language that is hardcoded in the user interfaces of the product software, language used based on RFP documentation, or language that is used by a referenced third-party product.

Cisco ICFP enables you to upgrade standalone appliances and multiple-node clusters for bug fixes and updated adapters. For more information, see the following topics:
Cisco ICFP 3.1.1 supports the following upgrade paths:
Beginning with version 2.3.1, Cisco ICFP includes a feature that automatically restarts Infra services when you upgrade Cisco ICFP to a newer version.
When you upgrade Cisco ICFP from 2.3.1 to 3.1.1 or higher, the service restart feature is automatically enabled and you do not need to restart Infra services.
This procedure enables you to upgrade Cisco ICFP to a newer version and apply Cisco bug fixes on a standalone node. To upgrade a multiple-node cluster, see Upgrading a Multiple-Node Cluster.
Upgrading from Cisco ICFP version 2.3.1 to 3.1.1 automatically resets the admin account password to changeme. For information on changing the admin account password to another password, see Changing the Admin Account Password.
Obtain the Cisco ICFP upgrade file (icfp-upgrade-3.1.1.tar.gz) from Cisco.com. For assistance, contact your Cisco representative.
Confirm that the upgrade file is accessible from the Cisco ICFP virtual appliance.
If required, change the admin account password as described in Changing the Admin Account Password.
Use this procedure to change the password for the Cisco ICFP admin account for standalone and multiple-node clusters as follows:
To change the password for a standalone node, log in to the Cisco ICFP GUI for that node.
To change the password for a multiple-node cluster, log in to the Cisco ICFP GUI for the active primary node in the cluster.
Step 1 | In the Cisco ICFP toolbar, choose Admin. |
Step 2 | In the Admin Log In dialog box, enter the current credentials for logging in to the Cisco ICFP admin account and click Login.
If you have recently upgraded to Cisco ICFP 3.1.1, the password is changeme. |
Step 3 | In the Admin Panel dialog box, click the Password tab. |
Step 4 | Enter the new password in the New Password and Confirm New Password fields, and click Apply. A success message indicates that the password has been successfully updated. |
Step 5 | Click Close. |
Step 6 | Log out of the Cisco ICFP GUI and log in again with the new password. |
Use this procedure to upgrade a multiple-node cluster for bug fixes and updated adapters. To upgrade a standalone Cisco ICFP virtual appliance, see Upgrading a Standalone Node.
Upgrading from Cisco ICFP version 2.3.1 to 3.1.1 automatically resets the admin account password to changeme. For information on changing the admin account password to another password, see Changing the Admin Account Password.
This procedure applies to multiple-node clusters with the following components and configuration:
An HA pair that:
Consists of two Cisco ICFP virtual appliances configured with the Primary Node role.
Is configured with one active node and one standby node.
Additional Cisco ICFP virtual appliances that are configured as service nodes.
The workflow for upgrading a cluster includes the following high-level tasks:
Stop the virtual IP (VIP) service on the HA active node.
Monitor status while services fail over to the HA standby node.
Upgrade the current HA active node (originally the standby node).
Start the VIP service on the current HA standby node (originally the active node).
Stop the VIP service on the upgraded HA active node.
Monitor status while services fail over to the current HA standby node, making it the active node again.
Upgrade the current HA active node.
Start the VIP service on the current HA standby node.
Upgrade each service node.
If required, change the admin account password.
The following procedure describes how to perform these tasks.
Obtain the Cisco ICFP upgrade file (icfp-upgrade-3.1.1.tar.gz) from Cisco.com. For assistance, contact your Cisco representative.
Confirm that the upgrade file is accessible from the Cisco ICFP virtual appliance.
Confirm that HA has been configured on two Cisco ICFP virtual appliances that are configured with the Primary Node role.
Step 1 | Stop the VIP service on the HA active node as follows: | ||
Step 2 | Log in to the ShellAdmin console for the HA standby node. | ||
Step 3 | In the
ShellAdmin console for the standby node, choose
Display
Services Status to monitor the following events as they occur:
| ||
Step 4 | Upgrade the
currently active node of the HA pair as follows:
| ||
Step 5 | Verify that the HA active node was successfully upgraded as follows: | ||
Step 6 | Restart the VIP service on the current HA standby node as follows: | ||
Step 7 | Stop the VIP service on the currently active node that was upgraded in Step 4 as follows: | ||
Step 8 | Log in to the ShellAdmin console for the standby node in the HA pair. | ||
Step 9 | In the
ShellAdmin console for the standby node, choose
Display Services Status to monitor the following
events as they occur:
| ||
Step 10 | Upgrade the HA active node as follows: | ||
Step 11 | Restart the VIP service on the HA standby node as follows: | ||
Step 12 | Upgrade each
service node in the cluster as follows:
| ||
Step 13 | Verify that each service node upgraded successfully as follows: | ||
Step 14 | (Optional)If required, change the admin account password as described in Changing the Admin Account Password. |
