Upgrading Both Devices in a Chassis Cluster Using ICU

Devices in a chassis cluster can be upgraded with a minimal service disruption of approximately 30 seconds using in-band cluster upgrade (ICU) with the no-sync option. The chassis cluster ICU feature allows both devices in a cluster to be upgraded from supported Junos OS versions.

The impact on traffic is as follows:

  • Drop in traffic (30 seconds approximately)
  • Loss of security flow sessions

Note: ICU is supported only on SRX100, SRX210, SRX220, SRX240, SRX550, and SRX650 Services Gateways.

Before you begin, note the following:

The upgrade is initiated with the Junos OS build locally available on the primary node of the device or on an FTP server.

Note:

  • The primary node, RG0, changes to the secondary node after an ICU upgrade.
  • During ICU, the chassis cluster redundancy groups are failed over to the primary node to change the cluster to active/passive mode.
  • ICU states can be checked from the syslog or with the console/terminal logs.
  • ICU requires that both nodes be running a dual-root partitioning scheme. ICU will not continue if it fails to detect dual-root partitioning on either of the nodes.
