Configure a scheduled upgrade for controller components using the workflow feature in Cisco SD-WAN Manager. This process allows you to plan upgrades in advance and minimize service disruption.


Schedule an upgrade for controller components using the workflow feature in Cisco SD-WAN Manager to automate and manage the upgrade process efficiently.

  • This task helps you plan and execute upgrades at a specified time, reducing manual intervention and potential downtime.

Use this task when you need to upgrade controller components and want to schedule the upgrade for a later time using the workflow capabilities of Cisco SD-WAN Manager.

This is useful in environments where upgrades must be performed during maintenance windows or to coordinate with other operational activities.

  • Scheduling upgrades helps ensure minimal impact on network operations.

Before you begin

Ensure you have access to Cisco SD-WAN Manager and the necessary permissions to perform software upgrades.

  • Verify that the devices to be upgraded are managed by Cisco SD-WAN Manager.
