The Pre-Upgrade Verifier is a tool that checks the compatibility and readiness of the Maestro environment for the upgrade process. It verifies the current version, the target version, the hardware requirements, the configuration settings, and the license validity of the Maestro Orchestrators and the Security Groups. It also identifies any potential issues or risks that might affect the upgrade and provides recommendations on how to resolve them. The Pre-Upgrade Verifier should be run before importing the R81.10 software package and before performing the actual upgrade.

A Security Group can be compared to a Load Sharing Active / Active cluster because it consists of multiple Security Group Members that share the traffic load and provide high availability and scalability. Each Security Group Member is an active firewall that processes traffic according to the Security Group policy and synchronizes its state with other members. The Maestro Orchestrator acts as a load balancer that distributes the traffic among the Security Group Members based on their capacity and availability.

The correct interfaces to connect to Orchestrator 1 for downlinks’ intra-orchestrator redundancy when using two Orchestrators are Port 1 in Slot 1 and Port 1 in Slot 2. This is because each slot represents a different NIC, and each port represents a different physical link. By connecting two ports from different slots, the appliance can have redundant connections to the same orchestrator, and avoid a single point of failure in case of a NIC or link failure.
