Issue/Introduction

This article explains on the steps to upgrade the Proxy or ASG using the CLI commands.

Resolution

Below are the commands to upgrade the Proxy or ASG:

#(config) upgrade-path <url>

Note: You could get the "url" either from the download portal's "Token" link or from the local server that supports HTTP or HTTPS.

 

#(config) exit
# load upgrade

Note:

This command is not available for ProxySG applications running on ISG.

There is another option to run the "load upgrade" to ignore warnings - "load upgrade ignore-warnings".

The ignore-warnings option allows you to force an upgrade even if you receive policy deprecation or disk compatibility warning. Keep the following in mind when using the ignore-warnings option:
If you use the load upgrade ignore-warnings command to force an upgrade while the system emits deprecation warnings results in a policy load failure; all traffic is allowed or denied according to default policy.
If you use the load upgrade ignore-warnings command to force an upgrade while the system emits disk layout incompatibility warnings, the disks will be re-initialized after the downgrade and all data and settings will be lost.

 

Once its done downloading and installing, run the command below.

# restart upgrade
