During an upgrade, Grid Manager displays a system message at the top of the screen indicating the Grid is being upgraded. After you start an upgrade, you can pause it and then resume it.

Pausing and Resuming Upgrades

The following are some operational guidelines for performing an upgrade:

• You may not be able to perform certain administrative tasks during an upgrade.

• The Grid Manager session terminates when an HA Grid Master fails over from Node 1 to Node 2, or when a single Grid Master reboots and goes offline. You can log back in to the appliance after the upgrade.

• When you pause an upgrade, you can do the following

  • Change the sequence of the upgrade groups

  • Change the scheduled upgrade time for an upgrade group

To pause an upgrade, from the Grid Upgrade Status bar, click the Pause icon. When you pause an upgrade, Grid Manager displays a system message at the top of the screen indicating the upgrade is paused, until you resume the upgrade.

To resume an upgrade:

1. From the Grid Upgrade Status bar, click the Resume icon.

2. When the appliance displays a dialog box confirming that you want to resume the upgrade, click Yes to continue.

Members that have not completed or started upgrades that were scheduled at an earlier time resume the upgrade.
