Dell Acceleration Appliances for Databases - Manual (Page 17)

If this appliance is a secondary node connected to a cluster IP address, the browser will be
redirected to the master node. For example:
In any case, the node other than the one you are connected to will be updated first (if
you are connected to the master node, the secondary node updates first, and vice versa).
4. Click Browse and navigate to the update file (.IOP) you want to install.
5. Click Open in the File Upload dialog.
Data about the update file is included in the dialog, such as file version number, release
date, build number, description, hotfix ID, reboot-required indicator, and estimated
update time.
6. Click Install Update to update the software.
A notification message appears regarding the success of the update. A reboot may occur
without prompting.
The browser will lose its connection to ION Accelerator. If you are updating cluster nodes,
the browser will reconnect to the other (primary) node; then after that update finishes, its
browser connection will also be lost.
7. When the browser connection is lost after the last update, wait for at least five minutes
and then reconnect to the GUI.
If the update fails on either node, an error dialog will appear. You can then use the CLI to
determine the state of the nodes in the cluster (see Node Commands in the ION
Accelerator Appliance CLI Reference Guide).
Reverting to a Previous Software Version
If it becomes necessary to revert to a previous version of the software, that must be done via the
CLI, not the GUI. For instructions on reverting, see soft:revert in Software Commands in the ION
Accelerator Appliance CLI Reference Guide.
