Performing an Upgrade with Smart Redundancy

If you have two ZoneDirectors in a Smart Redundancy configuration, the procedure is similar.
Note however, that the active and standby ZoneDirectors will reverse roles during an upgrade.
To upgrade both ZoneDirectors in a Smart Redundancy configuration
1. Log in to the active ZoneDirector or the shared Management Interface.
CAUTION: Do not attempt to manually upgrade the standby ZoneDirector first, followed by
the active unit. If you do this, some configuration options may get lost during the upgrade
process. Be sure to begin the upgrade process from either the active ZoneDirector's Web
interface or the shared Management interface.
2. Go to Administer > Upgrade.
3. Under the Software Upgrade section, click Browse. The Browse dialog box appears.
4. Browse to the location where you saved the upgrade package, and then click Open.
5. When the upgrade file name appears in the text field, the Browse button becomes the
Upgrade button.
6. Click Upgrade. The backup ZoneDirector is upgraded first.
7. When the backup ZoneDirector upgrade is complete, the backup ZoneDirector reboots
and becomes active (begins accepting AP requests), while the original active ZoneDirector
enters backup state and begins its own upgrade process.
8. All APs are now associated to the original backup ZoneDirector (which is now the active
ZoneDirector), and begin upgrading AP firmware to the new version.
9. Each AP reboots after upgrading.
