Upgrade Wm-1 From V4.1 Gpx To V4R1 Gp7; Upgrade Wm-2 From V4.1 Gpx To V4R1 Gp7; Upgrade Wm-2 To From V4R1 Gp7 To V5R3 - Extreme Networks Summit WM Maintenance Manual

Upgrading the Summit WM Software to V5R3 release

Upgrade WM-1 from V4.1 GPx to V4R1 GP7

Use the standard procedures – the GUI or the CLI commands – to carry out the upgrade.
When you upgrade the WM-1 from V4.1 GPx to V4R1 GP7, it will reboot. Consequently, the
'Availability' feature automatically moves both AP-1 and AP-2 from WM-1 to WM-2.
All clients registered with these two APs get disconnected. They re-connect automatically (if configured
to do so) either to a different AP or to the same one after the service is restored.
After the WM-1 reboots in wake of the upgrade, all 4 APs connect to the WM-2 (still running 4.1 GPx).
The WM-1 is now upgraded to V4R1 GP7, and has the same configuration as before. All 4 APs are
running 4.1 GPx software.

Upgrade WM-2 from V4.1 GPx to V4R1 GP7

NOTE
At this point you should move just one AP manually to the upgraded controller WM-1. This will test the new software
without risking all the APs.
Use the standard procedures – the GUI or the CLI commands – to carry out the upgrade.
When you upgrade the WM-2 from V4.1 GPx to V4R1 GP7, it will reboot. Consequently, the
"Availability" feature will automatically move all 4 APs from WM-2 to WM-1. Because WM-1 was
upgraded to V4R1 GP7, all the 4 APs are upgraded as well. This causes a short disruption of service.
All clients on all the four APs get disconnected. They re-connect automatically (if configured to do so)
after the service is restored.
After the WM-2 reboots in wake of the upgrade, all the four APs are associated with WM-1. Both
controllers are now upgraded to V4R1 GP7 release, and have the same configuration as before. All the
four APs are also upgraded to V4R1 GP7 release.

Upgrade WM-2 to from V4R1 GP7 to V5R3

If the existing WM-2 controller is a WM100/1000 Controller, and requires to be replaced by a WM200/
2000 controller, you must follow the procedure described in "Migrating the platform configuration" on
page 30.
If the existing WM-2 controller is a WM200/2000 platform, use the standard procedures – the GUI or
the CLI – to carry out the upgrade.
When you upgrade the WM-2 controller, it will reboot. However, there will be no change in the AP
association since all the four APs are associated with the other controller — WM-1. All the clients
remain connected.
The WM-2 is now upgraded to V5R3, and has the same configuration as before the upgrade. All the
four APs are running V4R1 GP7 release.
