Step 3: Creating Backup Files

Before installing a new service package, please export your current system configuration, local
user accounts, customized user settings, and role and policy information.

Access the Master device 10.111.0.228

1. In the admin console, choose Maintenance > Import/Export > Configuration.
2. Click Save Config As to create the system.cfg file.

3. In the admin console, choose Maintenance > Import/Export > Import/Export User Accounts.
4. Click Save Config As to create the user.cfg file.



Step 4: Clearing your Logs

Installing a service package can take several minutes and requires the SA Series Appliance to reboot.
Because existing system data is backed up during this process, you can decrease installation time by
clearing your system logs before trying to install a service package.
Access the Master device 10.111.0.228

Step 4.1: Deleting the System Log Files
To delete the System Log Files:

1. In the admin console, choose Log/Monitoring.

2. Save your System Logs before upgrading select Save All Logs to download your Events log,
User Access log, Administrator Access log, and Sensors log in a single zip file.
3. Select Events log, User Access log, Administrator Access log, Sensors log. Select Clear
Log



Step 5: Upgrading or Downgrading the Appliance

Juniper Networks recommends to upgrade the passive node first. Once the upgrade is complete,
the passive node will push the service package to the active node and cause the VIP to failover to
the passive node. A manual failover is required for active node to own the VIP.

The SA Series Appliance offers the ability to easily upgrade every node in a cluster. When installation
of a newer service package on one cluster node has completed, it will automatically push the service
package to the rest of the cluster nodes.

Staging:

Stage the service package in both Master and Slave nodes. This reduces the upgrade time by allowing
each node to upgrade simultaneously instead of having one node push the upgrade process to each of
the other clusters nodes.
