During Stage 3, you connect the shared cluster-HA and storage connections for the external shelves, if any, boot node1 with the upgraded system modules, and verify the upgraded node1 installation. If you are using NetApp Volume Encryption (NVE), you restore key-manager configuration. You also relocate node1 non-root aggregates and NAS data LIFs from node2 to the upgraded node1 and verify that the SAN LIFs exist on node1.

Steps

  1. Cable node1 for shared cluster-HA storage (AFF A800 upgrade only)

  2. Boot node1 with the replacement system modules

  3. Verify the node1 installation

  4. Restore key-manager configuration on the upgraded node1

  5. Move non-root aggregates and NAS data LIFs owned by node1 from node2 to the upgraded node1
