Running an upgrade pre-check using the UI
The upgrade pre-check determines if the system is ready for an upgrade. Run the pre-check at the beginning of an upgrade to check for any potential problems that might result in an upgrade failure. If the pre-check fails, the upgrade cannot proceed. You must resolve the issues before you upgrade the cluster.
Note:
Veritas recommends that you perform a pre-check one week in advance to ensure that you have sufficient time to fix any issues that are discovered during the pre-check. Additionally, run the pre-check again a day prior to the planned upgrade.
To run a pre-check:
- Sign in to the Access Appliance UI using the following URL, if not already done so:
https://console-ip:14161where console-ip is the management console IP address where the web interface is hosted.
- Navigate to Settings > Software management > Software update.
The downloaded software update is displayed under Downloaded package files. To view the details about the software update click the package name.
- For the software update, click the Actions menu (vertical ellipsis) from the right side of the row in the UI and click Start pre-check.
- When you are prompted for confirmation, click Start pre-check.
A notification is displayed on the top of the page. To monitor the progress of the pre-check operation, click View details. The pre-check takes approximately 10 minutes to complete. If the pre-check completes successfully, a notification about the pre-check completing successfully is displayed on the top of the page. If any issues are detected during the pre-check, an error notification is displayed on the top of the page. You can click View details on the View all activities pane to see the error details. The pre-check continues with the rest of the checks and shows all the issues that are encountered during the pre-check.
