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.
Important: If
you update your system software to version 8.1.1 or later from
a version earlier than 8.1.0, 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. Versions 8.1.0 and later allocate 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.
