Upgrading Cisco Enterprise NFVIS

The Cisco Enterprise NFVIS upgrade image is available as a .nfvispkg file. Currently, downgrade is not supported.

Before you Begin

Ensure that you copy the image to the NFVIS server before starting the upgrade process. Always specify the exact path of the image when registering and upgrading the image.

Use the scp command to copy the upgrade image from a remote server to your NFVIS server. When using the scp command, you must copy the image to the "/data/intdatastore/uploads" folder on the NFVIS server. Alternatively, you can upload the image to the NFVIS server using the System Upgrade option from the Cisco Enterprise NFVIS portal.

The following is an example on how to use the scp command to copy the upgrade image: 


scp -P 22222 nfvis-351.nfvispkg admin@192.0.2.9:
/data/intdatastore/uploads/nfvis-351.nfvispkg

The upgrade process comprises two tasks:

  • Registering the image using the system upgrade image-name command.

  • Upgrading the image using the system upgrade apply-image command.

To upgrade an image:


configure terminal
system upgrade image-name nfvis-351.nfvispkg location /data/intdatastore/uploads
system upgrade apply-image nfvis-351.nfvispkg location /data/intdatastore/uploads scheduled-time 5
commit

Verifying the Image Registration

Use the show system upgrade reg-info command in the privileged EXEC mode to verify the image registration. Package status must be valid for the registered image. 


nfvis# show system upgrade reg-info                  
PACKAGE

Verifying the Upgrade Status

Use the show system upgrade apply-image command in the privileged EXEC mode 


nfvis# show system upgrade apply-image
