License upgrade (F5-ADD-BIG-2200S) in HA active/standby BIG-IP
Hi community,
We run a pair of BIG-IP 2000 in an active/standby HA setup. To increase capacity we bought a license upgrade to BIG-IP 2200 (F5-ADD-BIG-2200S).
Can anyone tell me if there is an interruption in traffic processing while doing the license upgrade?
My plan is to:
- perform UCS backup of both systems
- upgrade the standby system first
- check status
- failover the traffic group to the standby system
- check again
- then perform the upgrade on the other node
- failover the traffic group again
- check again
Support told me that there is no guarantee that there will not be any traffic disruption...
Thanks for any help on this.
Stephan
