Post-upgrade Checklist

This section provides a list of checks to be performed after successful upgrade of NSX Advanced Load Balancer.

NSX Advanced Load Balancer supports a simple system upgrade method wherein all NSX Advanced Load Balancer Controller nodes and SE nodes are upgraded to the newer software version in one upgrade sequence. The list of checks performed post-upgrade are:

• Execute show upgrade status to ensure that the upgrade is successful. The status should be UPGRADE_COMPLETED.

• Execute show version controller and show version serviceengine to ensure that the service engines are on the version expected.

• Ensure all the three nodes of the Controller cluster are active.

• Ensure that the Cloud Status is Placement Ready.

• Inspect the Application Dashboard to ensure the application’s health is as expected. If you have traffic tools to test the availability of the virtual services, ensure that this is running successfully. For more information, see Virtual Service Health Monitoring topic in the VMware NSX Advanced Load BalancerMonitoring and Operability Guide.
