After the configuration node is successfully rebooted and updated, verify the update
and return the system to its original state by following these steps.
- Confirm the update:
- Enter the lsupdate command to determine whether the software update requires a further
completion step.
- If the lsupdate command shows that the status is
system_completion_required, enter svctask
applysoftware -complete in the command line interface.
Each canister is restarted in order. The update process takes approximately 30 minutes with 5
minutes per node. During the confirmation step, the system is operational but no other updates
can be started until the current update is confirmed.
- Verify that the system is running at the correct version and that no other errors in the
system must be resolved.
- Verify that all the nodes are online.
- Verify that all volumes are online.
In the management GUI, select .
- Verify that all managed disks (MDisks) are online.
In the management GUI, select .
- Restart any services, advanced functions, or scripts that were stopped before the
update.
You completed the manual update.
Note: When
you update your system software to 8.1.0 from a previous version on
a system where you have already installed more than 64 GB of RAM,
all nodes return from the update with an error code of 841. Version
8.1.0 allocates memory in a different way than previous versions,
so the RAM must be "accepted" again. To resolve the error, complete
the following steps:
- On a single node, run the svctask chnodehw command.
Do not run the command on more than one node at a time.
- Wait for the node to restart and return without the error.
- Wait an additional 30 minutes for multipath drives to recover
on the host.
- Repeat this process for each node individually until you clear
the error on all nodes.
