Execute o ISSU nos switches Catalyst 3850 e Catalyst 9000 Series

Introdução

Este documento descreve as etapas envolvidas para executar o In-Service Software Upgrade (ISSU) nos Catalyst 3850 e Catalyst 9000 Series Switches.

O que é ISSU

O In-Service Software Upgrade é um processo que atualiza uma imagem para outra imagem em um dispositivo enquanto a rede continua a encaminhar pacotes. O ISSU ajuda os administradores de rede a evitarem uma interrupção de rede quando executam uma atualização de software. As imagens são atualizadas no modo de instalação, em que cada pacote é atualizado individualmente.

O ISSU é suportado em todas as séries Catalyst 3850 e Catalyst 9000 que suportam Stackwise-Virtual e também em chassis autônomos Catalyst 9400 / 9600 com supervisores duplos.

O StackWise Virtual (SVL) compreende dois switches que são conectados juntos para formar um switch virtual. O SVL suporta atualizações de software em serviço.

O ISSU suporta atualizações, downgrades e reversões.

Plataformas suportadas e matriz de suporte da versão

Antes de continuar com o ISSU, verifique se a plataforma realmente suporta o ISSU. Além disso, verifique se o ISSU é suportado entre o código atual e o código de destino. Os detalhes do modo nas plataformas suportadas e na matriz de compatibilidade do ISSU podem ser encontrados aqui:

Suporte ISSU entre versões

Pré-requisitos antes do ISSU

Observação: o exemplo neste documento é baseado nos switches Cisco Catalyst 9500 configurados como Stackwise-Virtual. As etapas são aplicáveis ao chassi independente Cat9400 / Cat9600 com mecanismos de supervisão duplos e também para dispositivos Catalyst 3850 / Catalyst 9000 configurados como Stackwise-Virtual.

1. Verificar Versão Atual do Código

C9500#show version | in IOS XE 
Cisco IOS XE Software, Version 16.09.02

2. Verifique o modo de inicialização

O ISSU é suportado apenas se ambos os switches no Stackwise Virtual forem inicializados no modo de instalação.

C9500#show ver | in INSTALL
*    1 50    C9500-40X          16.9.2            CAT9K_IOSXE           INSTALL
     2 50    C9500-40X          16.9.2            CAT9K_IOSXE           INSTALL

On Catalyst 9400, the above output is not available. Check if the switch booted from packages.conf file

C9400#show version | in System image
System image file is "flash:packages.conf"
 

Se o chassi for inicializado no modo Bundle, o ISSU não é suportado. Você pode ver erros como esse se tentar executar o ISSU quando os switches estiverem sendo executados no modo de pacote.

ERROR: install_add_activate_commit: One-Shot ISSU operation is not supported in bundle boot mode
FAILED: install_add_activate_commit  exit(1) Tue Nov 13 14:56:03 UTC 2018

3. Verifique se Há Memória Disponível Suficiente no Flash

C9500#dir flash: | in free
11353194496 bytes total (8565174272 bytes free)

C9500#dir stby-flash: | in free
11353980928 bytes total (8566865920 bytes free)

Verifique se há pelo menos 1 GB de espaço na memória flash para expandir uma nova imagem. Limpe arquivos de instalação antigos em caso de espaço insuficiente e use o comando install remove inative.

4. Verifique se os Switches estão no Modo SSO

C9500#show redundancy 
Redundant System Information :
------------------------------
       Available system uptime = 4 minutes
Switchovers system experienced = 0
              Standby failures = 0
        Last switchover reason = none

                 Hardware Mode = Duplex
    Configured Redundancy Mode = sso
     Operating Redundancy Mode = sso
              Maintenance Mode = Disabled
                Communications = Up

-------------------------------
               Active Location = slot 1
        Current Software state = ACTIVE
       Uptime in current state = 30 minutes

                          BOOT = flash:packages.conf;
                   CONFIG_FILE = 
        Configuration register = 0x102
        

5. Verifique se a Inicialização Automática está Habilitada

C9500#show boot system 
---------------------------
Switch 1
---------------------------
Current Boot Variables:
BOOT variable = flash:packages.conf;

Boot Variables on next reload:
BOOT variable = flash:packages.conf;
Manual Boot = no                       <<<<< Manual Boot should be set to "no"       
Enable Break = no
Boot Mode = DEVICE
iPXE Timeout = 0
---------------------------
Switch 2
---------------------------
Current Boot Variables:
BOOT variable = flash:packages.conf;

Boot Variables on next reload:
BOOT variable = flash:packages.conf;
Manual Boot = no
Enable Break = no
Boot Mode = DEVICE
iPXE Timeout = 0 

Se a Inicialização automática não estiver habilitada, isso poderá ser alterado conforme mostrado:

C9500(config)#no boot manual

6. Verifique o ISSU atual e os estados de instalação

C9500#show issu state detail
--- Starting local lock acquisition on switch 1 ---
Finished local lock acquisition on switch 1

No ISSU operation is in progress      <<<<<<<<< If see anything else, abort ISSU before proceeding.
Check on how to manually abort ISSU.



 
C9500#show install summary
[ Switch 1 2 ] Installed Package(s) Information:
State (St): I - Inactive, U - Activated & Uncommitted,
            C - Activated & Committed, D - Deactivated & Uncommitted
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Type  St   Filename/Version    
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
IMG   C    16.9.2.0.2433      <<<<<<<< State should be Activated & Committed for current version alone.
 If not clear install state before proceeding. Check on how to clear install state.                                                  

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Auto abort timer: inactive
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

7. Copie a Nova Imagem a Ser Atualizada / Rebaixada

É suficiente copiar a imagem somente para o chassi Ativo (no caso de Stackwise) ou para o supervisor Ativo (no caso de SUP duplo Cat9400).

C9500#copy tftp: bootflash:
Address or name of remote host []? X.X.X.X
Source filename []? cat9k_iosxe.16.09.02.SPA.bin
Destination filename [cat9k_iosxe.16.09.02.SPA.bin]? 
 

Fluxos de trabalho do ISSU - Atualização real

Depois que todos os pré-requisitos forem verificados, você poderá prosseguir com a atualização real e usar um dos métodos listados:

• Fluxo de Trabalho de Uma Etapa (apenas uma etapa e não suporta reversão)
• Fluxo de trabalho de três etapas (envolve três etapas e suporta reversão em caso de falha)

Fluxo de Trabalho de Uma Etapa

Esse fluxo de trabalho envolve apenas uma etapa e ajuda na otimização.

 Prossiga para depois que o ISSU for concluído.

Fluxo de trabalho em três etapas

• Esse fluxo de trabalho envolve três etapas: adicionar, ativar e confirmar. Após a ativação, todos os switches são atualizados para a nova versão do software, exceto que o software não é confirmado automaticamente, mas deve ser executado manualmente através do comando install commit.
• A vantagem dessa abordagem é que o sistema pode ser revertido para uma versão anterior do software.
• O sistema reverte automaticamente se o temporizador de reversão não for parado e usa o comando install autabort-timer stop ou install commit. Se o temporizador de reversão for interrompido, a nova versão do software poderá ser executada no dispositivo por qualquer duração e revertida para a versão anterior.

Etapa 1. Instalar add.

 Esse comando faz o download da imagem no flash de inicialização e a expande em ambos os switches.

// This example has SW-1 as Active and Sw-2 as Standby before starting ISSU

Add: Passed on [1 2]
Finished Add

SUCCESS: install_add  Fri Feb  8 09:26:26 jst 2019  <<<< Wait until install_add says SUCCESS. If fails, manually abort ISSU.

Etapa 2. Instale o ative.

• Quando você executa este comando, esta sequência de eventos ocorre:
  
  (i) Um temporizador de reversão é iniciado. Se o temporizador de reversão expirar, o sistema voltará ao mesmo estado antes do início do ISSU. O temporizador de reversão pode ser parado quando você usa o comando install autosabort-timer stop. O ISSU pode ser revertido quando você usa o comando install abort issu.
  
      (ii) O switch em standby é provisionado com o novo software e é recarregado com a nova versão do software. Em seguida, o switch ativo é provisionado com o novo software e é recarregado. O switch em standby com a nova imagem agora se torna o switch ativo e o switch ativo antigo se torna o switch em standby.

Ao final desse procedimento, ambos os switches são executados com a nova imagem de software.

Lista de verificação pós-ISSU

Quando o ISSU for concluído com êxito,

• Verifique se ambos os switches são executados no novo software.
• Marque a saída show issu state detail para ser limpa e não mostrar nenhum ISSU em andamento.
• Verifique a saída show install issue history para garantir o êxito da operação do ISSU (Comando disponível somente na versão 16.10.1 e posterior).
• É recomendável dar tempo de imersão suficiente no novo software antes de habilitar qualquer novo recurso.

Ação em caso de falha de ISSU

• Se o ISSU falhar, espera-se que a anulação automática possa recuperar o estado inicial do sistema (imagem mais antiga). No entanto, se isso também falhar, é esperada a recuperação manual do chassi.
• Durante a recuperação manual, verifique se os modos ativo e standby executam a imagem mais antiga (caso contrário, recupere o chassi individual).
• Depois de garantir que ambos os chassis executam a imagem antiga, execute install remove inative para remover qualquer pacote de imagem não utilizado.
• Quando os dois chassis executarem o software antigo, limpe manualmente todos os estados internos de operação do ISSU. (Consulte aqui sobre como limpar os estados internos da ISSU).

Abortar ISSU

• No fluxo de trabalho de 3 etapas, durante o processo de ativação do ISSU, se o temporizador de interrupção expirar, o sistema poderá cancelar automaticamente para uma imagem mais antiga.
