HA Pair Upgrade Using vSphere

The following procedure shows how to mount the ISO image to the appliances using vSphere.

1. Upload the ISO to a datastore using the DataStore Browser.

2. Connect the CD/DVD drive of both appliances to the ISO in the datastore.

3. Log in to the appliances via SSH (or the VM console) using the "ascadminuser" account.

4. Disband the HA setup by entering the following command on the secondary instance:

   $ asc ha --disband

5. Apply the upgrade on both the primary and the secondary using the following command: $ asc upgrade -i

   Example: 

   $ asc upgrade -i
