Problem
Having a button that you could upload patches from, that would crazy eh? Cheers Cisco! I deployed a CDA appliance recently, and it needs (eventually) to be able to talk to Cisco ISE so I knew it had to be up to patch 2. At time of writing we are at patch 4, so I thought I’d put them all on.
I don’t know if the patches are cumulative, and patch 3 looks a little smaller than patch 2 so I thought I would apply them all, in order to be on the safe side.
Solution
Before you start make sure your patches are downloaded and in the root of your FTP server (I use 3cDaemon).
In the process below I will install patch 4, the procedure is the same for all of the patches, the only difference is patch 1 does not automatically reboot the CDA when it is finished, all the others do.
1. Connect to the CDA either directly to the console or via SSH. Go to config mode and create a repository.
Petes-CDA/admin# conf t Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z. Petes-CDA/admin(config)# repository CDAPatch4 Petes-CDA/admin(config-Repository)# url disk://CDAPatch4 Petes-CDA/admin(config-Repository)# end Petes-CDA/admin#
2. Make a directory that the repository will use.
Petes-CDA/admin# mkdir disk://CDAPatch4 Petes-CDA/admin# dir Directory of disk:/ 4096 Jan 19 2015 13:00:07 CDAPatch4/ 16384 Dec 08 2014 14:15:07 lost+found/ Usage for disk: filesystem 172765184 bytes total used 14275043328 bytes free 15234142208 bytes available
3. Copy your patch over from your FTP server. (You wont get any response to say it worked!)
Petes-CDA/admin# copy ftp://192.168.1.100/cda-patchbundle_1.0.0.011-4.i386.gz disk://CDAPatch4 Username: PeteLong Password: **********
4. Check the file is there.
Petes-CDA/admin# dir recursive
Directory of disk:/
4096 Jan 19 2015 13:02:11 CDAPatch4/
16384 Dec 08 2014 14:15:07 lost+found/

Usage for disk: filesystem

15234142208 bytes available
5. Install the patch.
Petes-CDA/admin# patch install cda-patchbundle_1.0.0.011-4.i386.gz CDAPatch4 Save the current ADE-OS running configuration? (yes/no) [yes] ? yes Generating configuration...

Broadcast message from root (pts/0) (Mon Jan 19 13:52:39 2015): The system is going down for reboot NOW! Patch successfully installed Petes-CDA/admin#
6. After the CDA has rebooted, check the patch version(s) installed.
