Figure 664: The Start Cluster Update Window
You can update the entire cluster or just a subset of Subscriber nodes.
6. In the Start Cluster Update window, use the check boxes to select the Subscriber nodes to update.
7. To force the update, select Force install patch update under Install Option.
8. Click Update.
This initiates the automated update process. No further manual steps are required until all selected
Subscriber nodes have been updated. The Publisher is always updated and rebooted first.
The Cluster Update page will not be available while the Publisher is rebooted. When the Publisher update is
complete, you can use the Cluster Update page to monitor update progress.
Viewing Update Status
After the Publisher Update is complete, you can monitor the Update status of the Subscriber nodes at
Administration > Agents and Software Updates > Software Updates > Cluster Update.
There are two ways to monitor the update’s progress:
1. On the Cluster Update page, progress indicators in the Update Steps area show the status of some of the
main steps.
Indicators in the Publisher Details and Subscriber Details areas also show when the Publisher or each
subscriber is in progress or completed.
When the update is complete, these areas should show a successful update status for the Publisher and
every subscriber.
