  • Once we get new RMA device serial number get the new license ready it should require citrix portal login details and even for new version OS.
  • Take the backup via winscp nsconfig and via gui
  • Make the active device as stay primary and disable the HA link  to avoid any unnoticed HA issues
  • Remove HA config from active node
  • Login to the CLI username and pass nsroot nsroot
  • Type nsconfig to give IP address and subnet mask and default gate way
  • Type 1 for above step and type 7 to save
  • Save configuaration
  • Reload the node
  • Add route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 default gateway 
  • Enable the data link if no… so we can login via gui
  • Update the license
  • Download the OS from citrix and upgrade to match the other node
  • Disable unused port and enable HA port
  • So HA will get active and sync will happen
  • Sometime under traffic management we need to right-click enable the license there as well.
