Use these instructions for obtaining and installing updates
to installations of Load Balancer for IPv4 and IPv6 on Windows operating
systems.
Before you begin
Before installing the refresh or fix pack, stop and uninstall
any existing versions of Load Balancer that are going to be updated.
Refer to
Uninstalling Load Balancer for more information.
When you uninstall the license package, the license file will not
be removed from your system. Do not manually remove this file, because
the license file is required for the update to start.
Procedure
- To prevent the currently installed Load Balancer from starting,
edit any start scripts that you have created to temporarily suppress
any commands that will start Load Balancer upon reboot.
- Use the Add or Remove Programs option
to uninstall the current Load Balancer, if it is present.
- Download the Edge Components refresh or fix pack.
- Run the installation program.
- From a command prompt:
- For a refresh pack, change to the /ulb directory, and enter the
following:
setup
- For a fix pack, the Load balancer fix pack only contains Load
balancer installation files and does not include the /ulb folder.
Unzip the downloaded package to a folder and enter setup from that
folder. For example, navigate to the unzipped files, and enter the
following:
setup
- From the Start menu:
- Click Run.
- Click Browse.
- For a refresh pack, change to the /ulb directory, and select setup.
- For a fix pack, the Load balancer fix pack only contains Load
balancer installation files and does not include the /ulb folder.
Select the installation files for your operating system, and select
setup.
- Click Open.
- Click OK.
- Enter information as requested by the installation program.
- Restart the system.
What to do next
After you install an update for Edge Components, the previous
configuration for Edge Components is maintained. When new functions
or enhancements are delivered with a refresh or fix pack, it might
be necessary to add directives to the configuration files to enable
the features.
Avoid trouble: When you update the Load Balancer
component, you must manually save and restore configuration files
to maintain the previous configuration for Load Balancer. See
Installing Load Balancer for more information.
gotcha
Rejecting
an update- Use the Add or Remove Programs option to
uninstall the current Load Balancer.
- Select Remove on the Maintenance
Options window for the setup program.
- Use the setup program for Edge Components to reinstall the previous
version.
