After you start a distribution, you can pause, resume, or stop it. Grid Manager displays the status of the overall distribution as well as the status of individual members. You can view this information on the Upgrade tab.

Pausing and Resuming Distributions

To pause a distribution:

  1. From the Grid Distribution Status bar, click the Pause icon.

  2. When the appliance displays a confirmation dialog box, click Yes to pause the distribution. The Grid Distribution Status bar indicates that the distribution is paused.

To skip a member from a distribution:

  1. From the Grid tab, click the Upgrade tab, and then click Toggle Member List View.

  2. Select a member checkbox, and then click Skip Member from the Toolbar. Grid Manager automatically skips the distribution of software to the members that are offline.

To resume a distribution:

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

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

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

Stopping Distributions

You can stop a distribution immediately, for example, if there are offline members and you do not want to wait for them to come back online, or if you realize that you have uploaded the wrong software version.

When you stop a distribution, you can do the following:

  • If the Grid Master has completed its distribution, you can upgrade the Grid immediately. This forces members that do not have a complete distribution to synchronize their releases with the Grid Master.

  • If the Grid Master does not have a valid distribution, you can restart the distribution.

  • Upload another software upgrade.

Ending a distribution does not affect the upgrade schedule, if configured. The Grid upgrade starts as scheduled, as long as the Grid Master completes its distribution.

To stop a distribution:

  1. From the Grid Distribution Status bar, click the Stop icon.

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