    IG 4 S-Series, SG Express 5100 v4/5200 v4 Update #17

    Important notes:

    1. Service downtime is expected as there is a forced automatic reboot after applying this update. For HA setup, service downtime will be longer than usual as ID2 HA service is brought down while patching ID1, and ID2 will only reboot to recover heartbeat after ID1 has booted up; so the service downtime for HA setup will be as long as the time it takes to sequentially reboot the two machines, one after the other.

    2. In the event snapshot restore is required due to error in applying this update, you may proceed to restore the snapshot to recover the system. However after booting up after the snapshot restore, you will not be able to pull this update from the online update centre. Please contact ANTlabs Support; we will assist in making the update available to you.

    Prerequisites:

    • • Your ASP must be upgraded to at least version 2.0.1
    • • All policy items including plans, portals, bandwidth and VLANs must be migrated to ASP before applying the update.
      • ◦ If the gateway is sharing bandwidth limit by device, ASP must be first upgraded to 2.0.2, and the sharing bandwidth limit on the cloud for this gateway set to by-device, before applying this update.

    This update converts this gateway to v5 (the SG 5 software version) Update 2. Hereafter, the gateway will fetch the SG 5 (v5) updates.

    The gateway will automatically reboot upon successful application of this update.

    Known issue: after the gateway has been converted to v5, downstream login via facebook will not work. You would need to apply Update 3 to fix this.

    Notes for HA setup:

    For HA setup, the recommended steps are:

    1. 1. Apply update to ID1 first. ID1 will reboot. Note: as the HA mechanism in ID2 is temporarily disabled, there will be service down-time as ID2 will not take over as the active node while ID1 is rebooting.
    2. 2. Once ID1 is up, on ID1 web-admin GUI’s HA page, wait until you see Peer is connected.
    3. 3. Fail over to ID2. Note: some GUI pages will load with incorrect values as ID2 software is not up-to-date yet.
    4. 4. Apply update to ID2. ID2 will reboot and ID1, the preferred master, will become the active node again.
