Hello, I have a netapp metro cluster that looks like the one below. If I were to upgrade the Ontap version from 9.6x to 9.7x but by using the "cluster image update -pause-after all" option.
Will the upgrade pick the nodes in the sequence as per the HA setup? .. example, will it pick netapp01-01 first and then go to netapp01-02 and then go to netapp01-03 and then finally to netapp01-04?
Will this always be the sequence? Would it be possible to control this sequence so we don't unknowingly upgrade node that has workload on it.
If I were to move the workload manually between the nodes once two nodes are upgraded. So the customer can face minimal impact at all. Kindly advice.
