Upgrade a management node
You can upgrade your management node to management node version 12.2 from version
11.0 or later.
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.
What you’ll need
• The vCenter Plug-in 4.4 or later requires a management node 11.3 or later that is created with modular
architecture and provides individual services.
Upgrade options
Choose one of the following management node upgrade options:
•
If you are upgrading from management node 12.0:
Upgrade a management node to version 12.2 from 12.0
•
If you are upgrading from management node 11.3, 11.5, 11.7, or 11.8:
Upgrade a management node to version 12.2 from 11.3 through 11.8
•
If you are upgrading from management node 11.0 or 11.1:
Upgrade a management node to version 12.2 from 11.1 or 11.0
•
If you are upgrading from a management node version 10.x:
Migrating from management node version 10.x to 11.x
Choose this option if you have sequentially updated (1) your management services version and (2) your
Element storage version and you want to keep your existing management node:
If you do not sequentially update your management services followed by Element storage,
you cannot reconfigure reauthentication using this procedure. Follow the appropriate
upgrade procedure instead.
•
If you are keeping existing management node:
Reconfigure authentication using the management node REST API
Upgrade a management node to version 12.2 from 12.0
You can perform an in-place upgrade of the management node from version 12.0 to version 12.2 without
needing to provision a new management node virtual machine.
The Element 12.2 management node is an optional upgrade. It is not required for existing
deployments.
