• The management node you are intending to upgrade is version 12.0 and uses IPv4 networking. The
management node version 12.2 does not support IPv6.
To check the version of your management node, log in to your management node and
view the Element version number in the login banner.
• You have updated your management services bundle to the latest version using NetApp Hybrid Cloud
Control
(HCC).

• If you are updating your management node to version 12.2, you need management services 2.14.60 or
later to proceed.
• You have configured an additional network adapter (if required) using the instructions for
additional storage
Persistent volumes might require an additional network adapter if eth0 is not able to be
routed to the SVIP. Configure a new network adapter on the iSCSI storage network to
allow the configuration of persistent volumes.
• Storage nodes are running Element 11.3 or later.
Steps
1. Configure the management node VM RAM:
a. Power off the management node VM.
b. Change the RAM of the management node VM from 12GB to 24GB RAM.
c. Power on the management node VM.
2. Log in to the management node virtual machine using SSH or console access.
3. Download the management node ISO for
the management node virtual machine.
The name of the ISO is similar to
XX.X.X.XXXX.iso
4. Check the integrity of the download by running md5sum on the downloaded file and compare the output to
what is available on NetApp Support Site for NetApp HCI or Element software, as in the following example:
sudo
md5sum
XX.X.X.XXXX.iso
5. Mount the management node ISO image and copy the contents to the file system using the following
commands:
sudo mkdir -p /upgrade
sudo mount <solidfire-fdva-<Element release>-patchX-XX.X.X.XXXX.iso>
/mnt
