9.3.1 Accept the Upgrade

The upgrade needs either to be accepted or rejected before any subsequent upgrades may be performed in the future. The Event ID: 32532Server Upgrade Pending Accept/Reject displays for each server until Accept or Reject is performed.

Note:

An upgrade should be accepted only after all servers in the SDS topology have successfully completed upgrade to the target release. The user should also be aware that upgrade acceptance prevents any possibility of back out to the previous release.
