Upgrading an Aviatrix Controller requires a healthy environment. CoPilot’s Readiness Check reviews compatibility, prerequisites, and known issues before the upgrade so problems surface ahead of the maintenance window.
The Readiness Check applies to Controller upgrades only. Gateway upgrades have their own separate readiness checks under Gateway Upgrade.

​
Prerequisites

  • An Aviatrix Controller.
  • A CoPilot account that can initiate upgrades.

​
Run a Readiness Check

1

Open Controller Upgrade

In CoPilot, go to Administration > Maintenance > Controller Upgrade.
2

Select a target version

Select the Target Version to check against.
3

Run the check

Click Run Readiness Check (or Re-Run Readiness Check if a previous result is already showing). Readiness checks run in the background; check back in a few minutes for results.
4

Review the results

When the check completes, the page shows counts for Failed (Blocker), Failed (Non-Blocker), Could Not Run, and Passed, followed by the list of issues. Each issue shows its severity, a description, and a Support link.If there are no blocking failures, the upgrade can proceed. If any check reports a Failed (Blocker) result, resolve the issue (or contact Aviatrix Support) before you upgrade.
Click Settings next to Run Readiness Check to enable Auto Readiness Checks on a recurring schedule (for example, every 24 hours), so results are ready without running the check manually.

​
Limitations

  • Only one Readiness Check can run at a time. Starting a new check while one is in progress returns an error.
  • The Readiness Check covers Controller upgrades only. Gateway upgrade readiness checks are separate.
