Install/Upgrade Remaining Cluster Nodes

Topics | Support

When installing/upgrading the software in the physical node of the cluster, it is possible to push install/upgrade the software on the remaining nodes of the cluster. The following install/upgrade sequence can be followed to perform the install/upgrade.

1.	Select cluster nodes from the Preferred Nodes list and click the arrow button to move them to the Selected Nodes list. NOTES The list of Preferred Nodes displays all the nodes found in the cluster; from this list you should only select cluster nodes configured to host this virtual server. Do not select nodes that already have multiple instances installed. For more information, see Multi Instancing. When you have completed your selections, click Next to continue.
2.	Type the User Name and Password for the Domain Administrator account, so that the installer can perform the remote install/upgrade of the cluster nodes you selected in the previous step. Click Next to continue.
3.	The progress of the remote install for the cluster nodes is displayed; the install can be interrupted if necessary. Click Stop to prevent installation to any nodes after the current ones complete. Click Advanced Settings to specify any of the following: Maximum number of nodes on which Setup can run simultaneously. Time allocated for Setup to begin executing on each node, after which the install attempt will fail. Time allocated for Setup to complete on each node, after which the install attempt will fail. NOTES If, during the remote install of a cluster node, setup fails to complete or is interrupted, you must perform a local install on that node. When you do, the install begins from where it left off, or from the beginning if necessary. See Installation for the required installation procedures.
4.	Read the summary for remote installation to verify that all selected nodes were installed successfully. NOTES If any node installation fails, you must manually install the software on that node once the current installation is complete. See Installation for the required installation procedures. The message displayed on your screen will reflect the status of the selected nodes, and may look different from the example. Click Next to continue.
