Cluster Upgrade Flow
  1. From the active cluster, go to Network > Data and Control Plane > Cluster > Configuration and disable schedule configuration sync. Do not change the cluster redundancy-enabled settings.
  2. Upgrade the active cluster and ensure that the active SZ is successfully upgraded.
  3. From the active cluster, go to Monitor > Events and Alarms > Events and check the details of event code 814.
  4. From the active cluster, go to Administration > Administration > Upgrade > Upgrade History to verify previous cluster upgrades.
  5. Rehome all APs in the standby cluster to the active cluster and ensure there is no AP on the standby cluster.
  6. Ensure all APs are on the Active cluster with Status online and Configuration Status up-to-date after the upgrade.
  7. Upgrade the standby cluster, and ensure it is successfully upgraded.
  8. Repeat and .
  9. In the active cluster interface, go to Network > Data and Control Plane > Cluster > Configuration and disable cluster redundancy.
  10. In the standby cluster interface, go to Network > Data and Control Plane > Cluster > Configuration and ensure that all active data is deleted.
  11. Enable cluster redundancy again from the active cluster.
  12. From the active cluster, go to Administration > Administration > Admin Activities and check if cluster redundancy is set successfully by investigating admin activities.
