  • 1.  NSX Upgrade - Roll Back Plan

    Posted Sep 02, 2017 10:17 AM

    NSX upgrade involves many components

    NSX Manager -> NSX Controllers -> Host Cluster -> DLR - > Edge

    In case if any of the upgrade is not successful , is there any definite roll back plan.

    For each of the components upgrade is there any any definite roll back solution,

    *Definite* is a strong word to use in this context.  You would want to heavily pre-check and post-health check at each step. 

    For the NSX Manager component; reverting to a snapshot is very safe.   Edges don't play well with snapshots, if needed, they  be redeployed to the manager version via the redeploy operation.  

    For the Cluster install / DLR components; from my experience, your best bet honestly is to work through any hiccups.  A good plan B is to be familiar with uninstalling - reinstalling those particular components.
