To start the update for the MD you need to login to the CLI of the VMM. So you need to upgrade the MM with the process above. If you choose FTP or SCP you need to specify a “Username” and a “Password”. The “File Path” is the folder, where the firmware images are stored. Now go to “Configuration–>System–>Profiles” and search for the “Upgrade” profile under “Controller Profile”: Firmware Update – Upgrade ProfileĮnter the “Server IP address” and the “File Path”. Log in to the VMM and select a hierarchy level under “/md” where you like to configure the centralized upgrade location. The first step is to configure the file storage location and the protocol in the controller. You do not have to touch every controller.

From this file storage, all the controllers download the image. To make the process for those environments easy as well, you can have something like a centralized update. But for larger deployments or deployments with many branch offices, this is not that handy. To update all controllers manually work great for small environments. You have to configure this for every new upgrade, as the preload feature is disabled after controller reboot. They do not have to download the image first. The AP’s reboot as well, after they can restore the connection to the controller. You get a process summary and an entry per AP: Firmware Update – AP Preload Image ProcessĪfter the status for all AP’s is “Preloaded” you can reboot the controller to the new image. Hit the “Apply” button to start the process. but you can specify specific AP’s as well. In my setup, I load the image to all AP’s.

Enable “AP Image Preload” and select the partition with the new firmware. If you see a page with an “Activate” link, use this link to get to the page above. Hit the “Upgrade” button and wait for the process to finish.Īfterward, go to “Maintenance–>Access Point–>Preload Image”: Firmware Update – AP Preload Image To use this feature, upload the new firmware image to the controller without the reboot option: Firmware Update – MD without Reboot AP Preload Image avoid this and the AP is up and running right after the controller and the AP has rebooted. During this time, all AP’s, which are not updated, are down. In large environments, the download of the image can take a lot of time. This reduces the downtime because the AP has the image already. To avoid this, you can configure the controller to preload the image to AP’s and reboot afterward. With the process above, the controller installs the new firmware first and afterward pushes the firmware to the AP’s. You can start with non-critical controllers, like LAB controller, and afterward the important ones. This process allows you to update the VMM first and afterward the MD’s step by step. I reboot the controller right after the upload, but before, save the configuration. So you have to log in to the MD and go to “Maintenance–>Software Management–>Upgrade”: Firmware Update – MD This is one of the only steps, you can only perform on the MD itself. Is the VMM up and running again, you can start to upgrade the Managed Devices (MD). Just hit “Upgrade” and wait for the process to finish. But before, the controller saves the configuration. I let the controller reboot immediately, after the upload of the image is ready. And if something goes wrong, I can boot to partition 0 and I’m back online.

I use partition 1 because the current version is in partition 0.

I use a local file on my PC and install the image to partition 1. To update the VMM, select the VMM in the configuration hierarchy and go to “Maintenance–>Software Management–>Upgrade”: Firmware Update – VMM You can start with the VMM and update the controller afterward.

This method is completely manual and works great for small environments. In the following post, I show the different options to upgrade the controller and what strategy I prefer for the upgrade process. This makes updating a lot easier because you do not have to plan for a long downtime, just for a firmware update.

It is possible to run different versions of code on controllers and the Mobility Master (VMM). With AOS8, the update process changes slightly.
