Answer

  • MetroCluster ONTAP upgrades cannot be implemented on all nodes in Site A followed by all nodes in Site B. In a 4 or 8 node MetroCluster ONTAP upgrades must be implemented as follows:
  • For four-node MetroCluster configurations:

  1. Update DR Group One:

    1a. Update node_A_1 and node_B_1.

     1b. Update node_A_2 and node_B_2.

  • For eight-node MetroCluster configurations, you perform the DR group update procedure twice:

  1. Update DR Group One:

    1a. Update node_A_1 and node_B_1.

    1b. Update node_A_2 and node_B_2.

  2. Update DR Group Two:

    2a. Update node_A_3 and node_B_3.

    2b. Update node_A_4 and node_B_4.
