    Upgrading Each Device in a Chassis Cluster Separately

    Devices in a chassis cluster can be upgraded separately one at a time; some models allow one device after the other to be upgraded using failover and an in-service software upgrade (ISSU) to reduce the operational impact of the upgrade.

    To upgrade each device in a chassis cluster separately:

    Note: During this type of chassis cluster upgrade, a service disruption of about 3 to 5 minutes occurs.

    1. Load the new image file on node 0.
    2. Perform the image upgrade without rebooting the node by entering:
      user@host> request system software add image_name
    3. Load the new image file on node 1.
    4. Repeat Step 2.
    5. Reboot both nodes simultaneously.
