Hi,

We are planning on upgrading both our XIQ-SE & NAC to version 24.10.12. Currently, both are running 24.2.15.5. 

I know that in order to upgrade the XIQ-SE, we need to stand up a new a new 24.10.12 server, and migrate the DB.

What I don't know is what the process is for upgrading the NAC appliance. Are we OK to use nac_appliance_64bit_sw_upgrade_to_24.10.12.14.bin to upgrade our appliances, or do we need to install a new server using nac_appliance_64bit.24.10.12.14-Large.ova? If it is the latter, are there  post migration steps that need to be taken.

I found a wealth of information for upgrading the site engine, but not the NAC appliance.

Thank you,
Ken

In this article @ https://extreme-networks.my.site.com/ExtrArticleDetail?an=000119350&q=an%20overview it states:

The upgrade process for companion products including Extreme Control, Extreme Analytics and Traffic Sensor remain unchanged for this release and follow the standard process noted in HOW TO Upgrade ExtremeCloud IQ - Site Engine, Control and Analytics Using BIN Image.

  • Please note the minimum version to perform a .bin-based upgrade of these appliances will be 24.2.15 or above.

I think I found the answer in this KB: https://extreme-networks.my.site.com/ExtrArticleDetail?an=000088097&q=nac

It doesn't specifically mention if this is dependent on the version being upgraded from, to the upgraded version to numbers, but I am assuming these are the correct steps. If someone can please confirm this, I would appreciate it.
