Hi! initially, before the introduction of the vsx update-software CLI command, to update the ArubaOS-CX versions running on VSX cluster's nodes the only way was to manually update each VSX node's operating system (the one with Secondary role first): wait the updated node to properly reboot, perform checks against the node itself and the VSX Cluster (and VSX LAGs) and, if all was OK, proceed with the remaining VSX node (the one with the Primary role). In any case - the old and always valid manual sequenced way or the new automated sequenced way - both nodes reboot.
The command you're referring to automates all those steps (with checks).

Hi,
What are the other ways to upgrade the CX switches apart from vsx update-software <tftp://REMOTE-IP> [vrf <VRF-NAME>] command? Is it a manual upgrade one switch at a time? If yes, would both CX switches form a Pair after finish the upgrade?
Thank you.
