You might perform this task when a new storage firmware upgrade becomes available
outside of a major release.
6. (Optional) Upgrade your management node.
Upgrading the management node operating system is no longer required to upgrade
Element software on the storage cluster. If the management node is version 11.3 or
higher, you can simply upgrade the management services to the latest version to perform
Element upgrades using NetApp Hybrid Cloud Control. Follow the management node
upgrade procedure for your scenario if you would like to upgrade the management node
operating system for other reasons, such as security remediation.

Update management services
You can update your management services to the latest bundle version after you have
installed management node 11.3 or later.
Beginning with the Element 11.3 management node release, the management node design has been changed
based on a new modular architecture that provides individual services. These modular services provide central
and extended management functionality for NetApp HCI and SolidFire all-flash storage systems. Management
services include system telemetry, logging, and update services, the QoSSIOC service for Element Plug-in for
vCenter Server, NetApp Hybrid Cloud Control (HCC), and more.
