Option Steps
Your management node is within a dark site without
external connectivity.
1. Select the cluster you are upgrading.
2. Click Browse to upload the upgrade package
that you downloaded from the
NetApp Support Site.
3. Wait for the upload to complete. A progress bar
shows the status of the upload.
The file upload will happen in the
background if you navigate away
from the browser window.
An on-screen message is displayed after the file is
successfully uploaded and validated. Validation
might take several minutes.
You can download logs after the upgrade is
complete. For information about the various
upgrade status changes, see Upgrade status
changes.
If a failure happens during the upgrade, NetApp Hybrid Cloud Control will reboot the node,
take it out of maintenance mode, and display the failure status with a link to the error log.
You can download the error log, which contains specific instructions or links to KB articles, to
diagnose and correct any issue. For additional insight into compute node firmware upgrade
issues using NetApp Hybrid Cloud Control, see this KB article.
