Upgrade Gateways for the Latest Aviatrix Supported Images (AWS and Azure Only)

Before upgrading your Controller and Gateways, it is highly recommend to check the General Steps of Upgrading Controller and Gateways for the Latest Aviatrix Supported Images.

For the major upgrade paths, see Major Upgrade Paths.

Perform an Image Upgrade of all your Gateways to the Latest Aviatrix Supported Images

If your gateways have been upgraded to 7.1.3958 or later, you can perform a software upgrade for the latest software version.

To perform a gateway image upgrade, follow these steps:

  1. Go to CoPilot UI > Cloud Fabric > Gateways > Gateway Management to upgrade your gateways. Alternatively, you can go to CoPilot UI > Administration > Upgrade to use the upgrade plan and upgrade groups for bulk upgrade. Please be noted that the Upgrade Plan is a Preview Feature. See Upgrade Gateways in Groups.

  2. From Image Upgrade, select the gateways that you want to upgrade. The system will automatically choose the compatible gateway image version based on the current software version of the platform Controller.

  3. Click Image Upgrade and closely monitor the progress in the status window. The upgrade process may take a while to complete.

  4. After the upgrade is finished, verify the gateway upgrade by reviewing the gateway information in the Current Image Version column. Ensure that the upgraded gateways display the expected image version. See Verify Gateway Upgrade Status for details.

After the gateway upgrade, several Network Metrics Interfaces and Connection Status Interfaces have been renamed. Therefore, it is necessary to reconfigure the alerts on any of these renamed Network Metrics Interfaces and Connection Status Interfaces. See Renamed Network Metrics Interfaces and Connection Status Interfaces.

Verify Gateway Upgrade Status

After you have completed the upgrade, you can:

  1. Go to CoPilot UI > Gateways > Gateway Management > Upgrade Controller to check the gateway upgrade status. Alternatively, you can go to CoPilot UI > Administration > Upgrade to use the upgrade plan and upgrade groups for bulk upgrade. Please note that the Upgrade Plan is a Preview Feature. See Upgrade Gateways in Groups.

  2. Look for the Update Status field.

    • If the Update Status displays "complete", it indicates that the gateway upgrade has been successfully completed. Alternatively, you can check the current version on the Controller Upgrade card.

    • If the Update Status shows any other status, it means that your gateway upgrade has failed.

  3. Go to CoPilot > Cloud Fabric > Gateway Management to check the status of gateways.

    • Verify all gateways are up and the status is green.

    • Verify all tunnels are up and the status is green.
