Setting Up a Firmware Upgrade Configuration Job
You can upgrade the firmware of devices from Skylight orchestrator using a configuration job.
You can stage the new firmware version on the Skylight orchestrator appliance before upgrading the firmware. "Managing Performance Element Firmware" for an explanation of how to stage a firmware version on Skylight orchestrator.
Alternatively, you can specify the URL where the firmware file (to be used for the upgrade) can be obtained.
CAUTION: Performing a firmware upgrade will require a reboot on the unit. Rebooting a unit momentarily interrupts traffic and operations.
To set up a Firmware upgrade job
Access the page Commission ▶ Jobs.
Set all common configuration job settings, as described in "Creating Configuration Jobs in GUI Mode" and "Creating Configuration Jobs Using Data Sets".
Select FW upgrade in the left pane. The FW upgrade tab is displayed.
Complete all fields in the FW upgrade tab as required. For more information on specific parameters, see the table below.
Click Apply, then click Close.
Click the Refresh button to refresh the user interface.
Note: On the Skylight orchestrator Docker, FW upgrade configuration job is supported via SFTP only, and not FTP.
