Create and Update Plan

Update Plan allows you to create and upload Oracle software packages to the SD-WAN Controller and create/modify a software update schedule.

Upload Software Packages

Click on the Choose Files button to upload a new software package. Once uploaded, you can also view the configuration.

Software Update Settings

You can set the amount of time the system will ignore incomplete wait times after no transfer update. Choose from 10 seconds, 30 seconds, 1 minute, or 2 minutes. You can also disable this option completely.

You can also configure the installation countdown time. Choose from 10 seconds, 30 seconds, 1 minute, or 2 minutes.

Software Update Schedule

The Software Update Schedule table contains the following fields:

  • Site/Region: Site name or Region name
  • Model: Device model
  • Current Active Software: Currently running software
  • Target Update Time: Planned date and time for the software update

To cancel any changes and continue with the previously created plan, click Cancel. This action will return to the Status page where any previously created plan can be restarted.

To clear out all uploaded software and scheduled updates from the plan, click Clear Plan.

To verify the updated plan, click Verify Plan. Plan verifcation can be done throughout the scheduling process, but must be done before activating the plan. If there are any errors in the verification process, you will be prompted with corrective steps to take.

To activate the verified plan, click Apply Plan. This action will activate the updated plan and return to the Status page to monitor the plan's progress. Once the software is updated on a site, the Oracle service for that site will be restarted.

Note:

Selective software update uses the time and date set on the active SD-WAN Controller appliance for updates. To ensure that updates are properly scheduled, the time, timezone, and date must be set properly on the active SD-WAN Controller, as well as all GEO and HA SD-WAN Controller appliances using the 'Date and Time Settings' screen in the 'Manage SD-WAN Edge' menu.
