Issue

  • ONTAP automated nondisruptive upgrade (ANDU) encounters a pause five hours after initiation:

upgrademgr: upgrademgr.update.pausedErr:error]: The automated update of the cluster has been paused due to the following reason: Error: Update timeout occured in State[Giveback]-- Tasks Pending in nodes <> Task Name: do-giveback-job, Action: Ensure that nodes are healthy and try resuming the update operation after some time
  • Checking the status of the upgrade reveals a timeout due to shelf firmware mismatch:

::> cluster image show-update-progress

Details:
