You can take snapshots of NetScaler Console 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 Console servers

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

NetScaler Console secondary server
NetScaler Console primary server

To take a snapshot of NetScaler Console servers:

On your hypervisor, select the NetScaler Console secondary server from the list of virtual machines.
Take a VM snapshot.

Note:

We recommend you select Take VM memory while taking the 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 Console 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 Console servers:

NetScaler Console primary server
NetScaler Console secondary server

To restore the snapshot of NetScaler Console servers:

On your hypervisor, select the NetScaler Console 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 Console secondary server.
