upgrading 2 nodes in a 10 node cluster

Linuxed

Regarding netapp ontap cluster. I have 8 nodes on version 9.16.1p4 and 2 new nodes on 9.16.1p3 can I upgrade the 2 nodes without disrupting service to the other 8 nodes. currently the 2 nodes are not in prod. the other 8 are.

If the upgrade disrupts the other 8 nodes at all I have to create an outtage which I do not want to do.

you can use the cli:

cluster image update -node node-0x,node-0y -version 9.16.1P4

You really should upgrade. there are many known issues in those earlir version of 9.16

Should not be an issue

just upgrade the whole cluster to the same release, like 9.16.1P11

there are significant fixes/patches/firmware updates in this release

That's exactly what I don't want to do. I just want those two nodes up to P4.

Oh trust me I see the "features" I just spent 3 days joining a brand new c60 to our existing cluster. It's just we are in the middle of a major hardware refresh cycle on this cluster and it's just not worth it right now.

Thanks for the solution!

LOL. I have my tools & toys

I almost never "just add" nodes to a cluster nor just use out of the box.

I do a full re-init of the system

-> Update flash from loader, set-defaults, netboot version I want -> puts image on both boot partitions, and redo the ADP.

Many times the customer orders "extra" drives and if i re-init, i can make the root partition at least a little smaller getting a little more extra capacity

This is the basic complete command:
cluster image update -node n0001, n0002 -version 9.16.1P4

Once we are done swapping out shelves then we're going up to 9.17.XX We'll cross that bridge when we get there.
