Upgrade Bulk FDM-Managed Devices with Images from CDO's Repository
Use the following procedure to upgrade multiple FDM-managed devices using a software image that is stored in CDO's repository:
Procedure
Step 1 | In the left pane, click Inventory. | ||
Step 2 | Click the Devices tab to locate your devices. | ||
Step 3 | Click the FTD tab. | ||
Step 4 | Use the filter to narrow down the list of devices you may want to include in your bulk upgrade. | ||
Step 5 | From the filtered list of devices, select the devices you want to upgrade. | ||
Step 6 | In the Device Actions pane, click Upgrade. | ||
Step 7 | On the Bulk Device Upgrade page, the devices that can be upgraded are presented to you. If any of the devices you chose are not upgradable, CDO gives you a link to view the not upgradable devices. | ||
Step 8 | Alternatively, if you want CDO to perform the upgrade later, select the Schedule Upgrade check box. Click the field to select a date and time in the future. When you are done, click the Schedule Upgrade button. | ||
Step 9 | In step 1, click Use CDO Image Repository to select the software image you want to upgrade to. You are only presented with choices that are compatible with the devices you can upgrade. Click Continue. | ||
Step 10 | In step 2, confirm your choices and decide whether you only want to download the images to your device or copy the images, install them, and reboot the device. | ||
Step 11 | Click Perform Upgrade when you are ready. From the Inventory page, devices that are upgrading have a "Upgrade in Progress" configuration status.
| ||
Step 12 | Look at the notifications tab for the progress of the bulk upgrade action. If you want more information about how the actions in the bulk upgrade job succeeded or failed, click the blue Review link and you will be directed to the Jobs page. | ||
Step 13 | Upgrade the system databases. You must do this step in Firewall device manager. See Updating System Databases in Cisco Firepower Threat Defense Configuration Guide for Firepower Device Manager, for the version your device is running. |
