ONTAP Deploy: Upgrade fails on license-manager setup

(ONTAPdeploy) deploy upgrade
-package-path /home/admin/SELECTDEPLOY_9121P4.tar.gz

Two-node clusters are being managed by this Deploy instance. An upgrade
operation requires a reboot of Deploy, which will temporarily disconnect iSCSI connections from ONTAP Select nodes of two-node
clusters (being managed and using the mediator service running on this Deploy). Takeover/Giveback will be disabled on all such
two-node clusters for the short period until the Deploy reboot completes and iSCSI connections from ONTAP Select nodes are
restored.
