You must be familiar with the steps required to add the engine back to the load balancer configuration.

After you confirm that the engine has been successfully added to the load balancer and is reporting properly to PingAccess, you can begin the upgrade process on additional engines.

This flowchart shows a PingAccess deployment as an upgraded node is returned to the load balancer configuration. A user with a WebSession Cookie sends a request to the load balancer, which directs the request to one of the three engine nodes. The administrative node is using the target version of PingAccess. The first engine node is using the target version of PingAccess, and it has been added to the load balancer configuration.
  1. To add the engine to the load balancer configuration, reverse the steps you took in Removing the engine from the load balancer configuration to remove the engine.
  2. Restart the load balancer.

Repeat the Upgrading engines process until each engine has been upgraded. When all engines have been upgraded, added to the load balancer configuration, and are reporting to PingAccess, you can move on to the final step, Enable key rolling, to complete the zero downtime upgrade process.
