Upgrade Juniper Security Director

You can upgrade your existing Juniper Security Director version to the latest available version.
Note:

Services will be temporarily unavailable during the upgrade process. The upgrade might take 40 minutes to complete, VM will reboot, and after which services will be restored. We recommend scheduling the upgrade during a maintenance window with ample time.

Before You Begin

Download the Juniper Security Director Software Bundle (.tgz file) to your local machine from https://support.juniper.net/support/downloads/?p=security-director-on-prem and then transfer the file to your staging server.

A staging server is an intermediate server where the software upgrade bundle is downloaded.

The staging server must support the software upgrade bundle download from the Juniper Security Director VM through SCP. Before you upgrade the VM, you must have the details of the staging server, including the SCP username and password.

To upgrade Juniper Security Director:

  1. Log in to the Juniper Security Director UI.
  2. Select Administration > System Management > System.
    The System page is displayed. You can view the existing software version that is displayed on the page.
  3. Click Upgrade System.
  4. Complete the configuration by entering the details as described in Table 1.
    Table 1: Fields on the Upgrade System Page
    Field Description

    Software bundle SCP path

    Enter the staging server location, where the upgrade bundle is available. You must provide the bundle location in the following formats:

    • With port — user@server:port/relative-path or user@server:port//absolute-path. For example, root@10.0.0.1:22//var/www/html/sdop-24.1-898.tgz

    • Without port — user@server:relative-path or user@server:/absolute-path. For example, root@10.0.0.1:/root/sdop-24.1-898.tgz

    SCP password

    Enter the password to connect to the staging server.
  5. Click OK.

    The upgrade process is triggered, and the Job Status page is displayed. After the upgrade is complete, close the Job Status page. The detailed status of the job is displayed on the Job Status page. The status of the upgrade is displayed on the System page.

    On successful upgrade, the upgraded version is displayed on the System page.

    If the upgrade fails, check if:

    • VM has connectivity to the staging server.

    • Incorrect bundle location is provided.

    • Missing bundle in the specified location.

    • Invalid bundle or invalid bundle format is provided.

    You can check the status of the upgrade using the CLI command show bundle install status. For more information, see show bundle install.
