Update management services using the management node API for dark sites
Users should ideally perform management services updates from NetApp Hybrid Cloud Control. You can
however manually upload, extract, and deploy a service bundle update for management services to the
management node using the REST API. You can run each command from the REST API UI for the
management node.
Before you begin
• You have deployed a NetApp Element software management node 11.3 or later.
• If you are updating management services to version 2.16 or later and you are running a management node
11.3 to 11.8, you will need to increase your management node VM’s RAM prior to updating management
services:
a. Power off the management node VM.
b. Change the RAM of the management node VM from 12GB to 24GB RAM.
c. Power on the management node VM.
• Your cluster version is running NetApp Element software 11.3 or later.
• You have downloaded the service bundle update from the NetApp Support Site to a device that can be
used in the dark site.
Steps
1.
Open the REST API UI on the management node: https://[management node IP]/mnode
2. Click Authorize and complete the following:
a. Enter the cluster user name and password.
b.
Enter the client ID as mnode-client if the value is not already populated.
c. Click Authorize to begin a session.
d. Close the window.
3.
Upload and extract the service bundle on the management node using this command: PUT
/services/upload
4.
Deploy the management services on the management node: PUT /services/deploy
5.
Monitor the status of the update: GET /services/update/status
A successful update returns a result similar to the following example:
{
"current_version": "2.10.29",
"details": "Updated to version 2.17.52",
"status": "success"
}
