Updates
for
Panorama
in
an
HA
Configuration
To
ensure
a
seamless
failover,
the
active
and
passive
Panorama
peers
in
a
high
availability
(HA)
pair
must
be
running
the
same
Panorama
release
with
the
same
Applications
database
version.
The
following
example
describes
how
to
upgrade
an
HA
pair
(active
peer
is
Primary_A
and
passive
peer
is
Secondary_B).

HA
Configuration
Step
1
Upgrade
the
Panorama
software
version
on
Secondary_B,
the
passive
peer.
Perform
one
of
the
following
tasks:
•
•
After
the
upgrade,
this
Panorama
transitions
to
a
non
‐
functional
state
because
the
software
version
does
not
match
that
of
its
peer.
Step
2
Suspend
Primary_A
to
trigger
a
failover. On
Primary_A:
1.
Select
Panorama > High Availability
.
2.
In
the
Operational Commands
section,
click
Suspend local
Panorama
.
3.
Verify
that
the
bottom
‐
right
corner
of
the
web
interface
displays
the
state
as
suspended.
Upon
failover,
Secondary_B
transitions
to
an
active
state.
Step
3
Upgrade
the
Panorama
software
version
on
Primary_A.
Perform
one
of
the
following
tasks:
•
•
After
rebooting,
Primary_A
first
transitions
to
the
passive
state.
Then,
because
preemption
is
enabled
by
default,
Primary_A
automatically
transitions
to
the
active
state
and
Secondary_B
reverts
to
the
passive
state.
If
you
disabled
preemption,
manually
Step
4
Verify
that
both
peers
have
the
Panorama
software
and
content
versions.
On
the
Dashboard
of
each
Panorama
peer,
verify
that
the
Panorama
Software
Version
and
Application
Version
match
and
that
the
running
configuration
is
synchronized
with
the
peer.
