Upgrading V-Series Appliances
The following is a sample start-to-finish upgrade scenario:
Approximate total upgrade time for all upgrade tasks:
■ 1 TRITON AP-WEB V10000 appliance
■ 2 Windows 2012 servers: 1 for the TRITON Manager, 1 for Web Log Server
Approximate upgrade time: 3 to 4 hours
The download speed for each patch depends on your network environment and can
vary significantly.
Activity breakout:
● 20 minutes to download the 8.3.x upgrade patch file, assuming the download
speed is 1024 kilobytes per second. This is the estimated time per patch.
Depending on the upgrade path you take, your upgrade may involve more than
one patch.
● 40 to 60 minutes for the patch to perform the upgrade and for you to verify that the
upgrade was successful.
● 15 minutes to download the version 8.3.x TRITON Unified Installer.
● 40 to 60 minutes to run the installer to upgrade the TRITON management server
and the Log Server host.
● 5 minutes to restart the Windows servers and verify that the upgrade was
successful.
Service disruption during upgrade
Appliance services are disrupted while the upgrade is applied to the appliance,
continuing until the appliance completes its final restart.
Rollback
When the upgrade patch is applied, a copy of the original file system is preserved.
Should the upgrade procedure experience a fatal error, the original file system is fully
restored. In this case, off-appliance components may need to be restarted.
Note
Service is not disrupted while the off-box components are
upgraded.
