Aborting an Upgrade in a Chassis Cluster During an ICU

You can abort an ICU at any time by issuing the following command on the primary node:

request system software abort in-service-upgrade

Note: Issuing an abort command during or after the secondary node reboots puts the cluster in an inconsistent state. The secondary node boots up running the new Junos OS build, while the primary continues to run the older Junos OS build.

To recover from the chassis cluster inconsistent state, perform the following actions sequentially on the secondary node:

  1. Issue an abort command:

    request system software abort in-service-upgrade

  2. Roll back the Junos OS build by entering the following command:

    request system software rollback node < node-id >

  3. Reboot the secondary node immediately by using the following command:

    request system reboot

Note: You must execute the above steps sequentially to complete the recovery process and avoid cluster instability.

Table 1 lists the options and their descriptions for the request system software in-service-upgrade command.

Options

Description

no-sync

Disables the flow state from syncing up when the old secondary node has booted with a new Junos OS image.

no-tcp-syn-check

Creates a window wherein the TCP SYN check for the incoming packets will be disabled. The default value for the window is 7200 seconds (2 hours).

no-validate

Disables the validation of the configuration at the time of the installation. The system behavior is similar to software add.

unlink

Removes the package from the local media after installation.

Note:

  • During ICU, if an abort command is executed, ICU will abort only after the current operation finishes. This is required to avoid any inconsistency with the devices.

    For example, if formatting and upgrade of a node is in progress, ICU aborts after this operation finishes.

  • After an abort, ICU will try to roll back the build on the nodes if the upgrading nodes step was completed.
