Perform this procedure to remove the cluster from production before you perform a standard update. Performing a standard update also updates the Oracle Solaris OS to the latest compatible version. Perform all steps from the global zone only.
Before You Begin
Perform the following tasks:
Ensure that the configuration meets the requirements for update. See Overview of Updating Oracle Solaris Cluster Software.
Have available the installation media, documentation, and software updates for all software products that you are updating, including the following software:
Oracle Solaris OS
Oracle Solaris Cluster
Applications that are managed by Oracle Solaris Cluster data services
Any other third-party applications to update
For instructions on updating single or multiple packages, see Updating Software Packages.
If you use role-based access control (RBAC) instead of the root role to access the cluster nodes, ensure that you can become an administrator with rights for all Oracle Solaris Cluster commands. This series of update procedures requires the following Oracle Solaris Cluster RBAC authorizations if the user is not the root role:
solaris.cluster.modify
solaris.cluster.admin
solaris.cluster.read
See User Rights Management in Securing Users and Processes in Oracle Solaris 11.4 for more information about using RBAC roles. See the Oracle Solaris Cluster man pages for the RBAC authorization that each Oracle Solaris Cluster subcommand requires.

See the cluster(8CL) man page for more information.
Next Steps
Update the cluster and OS software. Go to How to Update the Software (Standard Update).
