Use the following procedure to prepare to upgrade clustered controllers.
Before You Begin
Complete Preparing for a Software Upgrade.
The update package is a single compressed file named with the version number, such as ak-nas-2013-06-05-0-0.0.pkg.gz. You can rename the file if needed; the version number is recorded within the image. The updates can vary in size, but are typically several hundred megabytes in size.
The following examples show the cluster in Active/Active mode, with example output if the management interface is listed as a private resource.
controller-a:> configuration cluster resources show Resources: RESOURCE OWNER TYPE LABEL CHANGES DETAILS net/igb0 controller-a private management... no 10.80.2xx.112
controller-b:> configuration cluster resources show Resources: RESOURCE OWNER TYPE LABEL CHANGES DETAILS net/igb1 controller-b private management... no 10.80.2xx.114
controller-a:> configuration cluster resources select net/igb0 configuration cluster resources (uncommitted)> set owner=controller-a configuration cluster resources (uncommitted)> set type=private configuration cluster resources (uncommitted)> commit
Note that each controller must be the current owner of the management interface.
