arubanetworks edgeconnect sd-wan orchestrator UPGRADE

Affected: >= 9.4.0 and < 9.4.11 · >= 9.5.0 and < 9.5.9 · >= 9.6.0 and < 9.6.4 · 9.7.0

Fixed in: 9.4.11, 9.5.9, 9.6.4

Safe to downgrade to: a release before 9.4.0

1. Check installed version

apt-cache policy edgeconnect-sd-wan-orchestrator || rpm -q edgeconnect-sd-wan-orchestrator || edgeconnect-sd-wan-orchestrator --version

2. UPGRADE to 9.4.11 (Debian / Ubuntu)

sudo apt update && sudo apt install --only-upgrade edgeconnect-sd-wan-orchestrator

2. UPGRADE (RHEL / Amazon Linux / Fedora)

sudo dnf upgrade edgeconnect-sd-wan-orchestrator

Note

Distros often backport fixes without changing the version number. Confirm with the distro advisory or changelog.

3. If no update is available yet, DOWNGRADE to a release before 9.4.0 (Debian / Ubuntu)

apt-cache madison edgeconnect-sd-wan-orchestrator sudo apt install edgeconnect-sd-wan-orchestrator=<VERSION_BEFORE_9.4.0> sudo apt-mark hold edgeconnect-sd-wan-orchestrator

3. If no update is available yet, DOWNGRADE (RHEL / Amazon Linux / Fedora)

dnf --showduplicates list edgeconnect-sd-wan-orchestrator sudo dnf downgrade edgeconnect-sd-wan-orchestrator-<VERSION_BEFORE_9.4.0> sudo dnf versionlock add edgeconnect-sd-wan-orchestrator

Downgrade risk

Downgrading can break dependent software and may reopen older bugs. Read the distro advisory first and test on a non-production host.

After downgrade

Restart the service, and keep the package held until a fixed release ships.
