PowerFlex upgrades require all nodes to be in Maintenance Mode. True. False.
Suggested Answer: A,B Vote an answer
PowerFlex is designed for Non-Disruptive Upgrades (NDU). Requiring all nodes to be in maintenance mode simultaneously would cause a complete cluster outage (Data Unavailable), which defeats the purpose of the architecture.
The upgrade process is rolling.
* Node 1 enters Maintenance Mode (data is safe on other nodes).
* Node 1 is upgraded and rebooted.
* Node 1 rejoins the cluster and syncs data.
* The system moves to Node 2.
At no point is the entire cluster in maintenance mode. The cluster remains online and serves I/O throughout the entire process.
