NetScaler® guides
NetScaler ADC and Gateway guides for admins on call: HA pair upgrades from the CLI, post-patch session kills, IOC hunting and CVE response, step by step.
When a NetScaler bulletin lands, the work follows the same sequence every time: find out whether your build is affected, plan the change, upgrade the secondary node first, fail over, finish the other node and then decide whether sessions need to be killed. These guides walk through that sequence with the exact CLI commands, and each step cites the NetScaler documentation or security bulletin it relies on.
To see which exploited CVEs affect a build, paste it into the free build and CVE checker or browse the NetScaler CVE tracker. If you would rather not run the upgrade by hand at night, Nightpatch plans it, waits for your approval and logs every step.
