Outlines requirements for managing App Center apps during Cisco APIC software upgrades and downgrades.
If you are running apps from https://dcappcenter.cisco.com/ on your Cisco APIC nodes:
Starting with Cisco ACI release 6.1(2), this no longer applicable as the app center was deprecated.
-
Disable those apps before upgrading or downgrading the APIC software on those APIC nodes.
-
Do not install or remove any apps while upgrading or downgrading the APIC software on those APIC nodes.
-
Do not perform an app image upgrade while upgrading or downgrading the APIC software on those APIC nodes.
-
If you upgraded from a release prior to the 3.2(1) release and you had any apps installed prior to the upgrade, the apps will no longer work. To use the apps again, you must uninstall and reinstall them.
-
If you are upgrading to APIC release 5.2(1) or later and you have External Switch App version 1.1 installed, you must remove the app and re-install version 1.2 of the app before you upgrade to APIC release 5.2(1) or later.
After you have completed the APIC software upgrade or downgrade process for the entire fabric (the APIC nodes and switches), re-enable the apps again if you disabled them. You can install or remove apps, or perform an app image upgrade, after the APIC software upgrade or downgrade process is complete.
