HA Pair Upgrade Using ISO Upload

The following procedure shows how to upload the ISO file to the appliances via SFTP.

1. Upload the ISO file to the appliances via SFTP or SCP, using the "ascadminuser" account.

2. Log in to the appliances via SSH using the "ascadminuser" account.

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

   $ asc ha --disband

4. Apply the upgrade on both the primary and the secondary using the following command: $ asc upgrade -i /pathname/filename.iso

   where "pathname" and "filename" are the location and file name of the uploaded ISO image.

   Example: 

   $ asc upgrade -i /home/ascadminuser/HTCC-5.3.0.53577-upgrade.iso
