This task must be performed on site_A.

After you complete this task:

  • cluster_B is inactive and ready to begin the upgrade process.

Shows cluster_A is ready for upgrade and cluster_B is in switchover
Steps

  1. Switch over the MetroCluster configuration to site_A so that site_B's nodes can be upgraded:

    1. Issue the following command on cluster_A:

      metrocluster switchover -controller-replacement true

      The operation can take several minutes to complete.

    2. Monitor the switchover operation:

      metrocluster operation show

    3. After the operation is complete, confirm that the nodes are in switchover state:

      metrocluster show

    4. Check the status of the MetroCluster nodes:

      metrocluster node show

      Automatic healing of aggregates after negotiated switchover is disabled during a controller upgrade.

What's next?

Remove interface configurations and uninstall the old controllers.
