Cisco Cisco 3365 Mobility Services Engine

After a software update, the new Cisco MSE software version does not immediately appear in Cisco 
MSE queries on the Cisco Prime Infrastructure. Up to 5 minutes are required for the new version to 
appear. By default, Cisco Prime Infrastructure queries the Cisco MSE for status every 5 minutes.

To upgrade for Cisco MSE high availability, follow these steps:

Ensure that the HA pair that needs to be upgraded is in normal mode and not in Failover mode. In normal 
mode, the Primary MSE is active and the Secondary is in standby mode. The output of the gethainfo 
command on primary MSE will show PRIMARY_ACTIVE and the secondary MSE will show 
SECONDARY_ACTIVE.

Log in to Cisco Prime Infrastructure and delete the MSE HA pair.

Perform a full backup of the primary MSE.

Stop the primary MSE and the secondary MSE using the service msed stop command.

Perform the upgrade on the Primary and Secondary Cisco MSE servers by following the instructions 
described in 

Start both the primary and secondary MSE instances using the service msed start command.

Recreate the MSE HA pair using Cisco Prime Infrastructure.
