You can take snapshots of NetScaler ADM servers in the HA deployment before starting your upgrade. Snapshots capture the entire state of the virtual machine at the time that you take them.

Take a snapshot of NetScaler ADM servers

Use the following sequence to take snapshots of the NetScaler ADM servers:

NetScaler ADM secondary server
NetScaler ADM primary server

To take a snapshot of NetScaler ADM servers:

On your hypervisor, select the NetScaler ADM secondary server from the list of virtual machines.
Take a VM snapshot.
Give the snapshot a meaningful name and enter a description, if needed.

The snapshot is stored in the default VM directory.
Repeat the same steps for the primary server.

Note:

You don’t have to power off the VM while taking a snapshot.

Restore a snapshot of NetScaler ADM servers

When you restore a snapshot, you return the virtual machine’s memory, settings, and the state of the virtual machine disks to the state they were in at the time you took the snapshot.

Use the following sequence to restore snapshots of the NetScaler ADM servers:

NetScaler ADM primary server
NetScaler ADM secondary server

To restore the snapshot of NetScaler ADM servers:

On your hypervisor, select the NetScaler ADM primary server from the list of virtual machines.
Right-click the VM and revert the snapshot.

The virtual machine is reverted to the most recent snapshot.
Repeat the same steps for the NetScaler ADM secondary server.
