The steps to finalize your upgrade will differ slightly depending on whether you are upgrading to a bugfix version, or to the next feature version which may require upgrade tasks to be run. You should do this soon as possible, as some tasks are put on hold while your cluster is in upgrade mode. 

Finalize upgrade to a bugfix version

To finalize the upgrade:

  1. Wait for the cluster status to change to Ready to finalize. This won't happen until all nodes are active, and running the same upgraded version. 
  2. Select the Finalize upgrade button.
  3. Wait for confirmation that the upgrade is complete. The cluster status will change to Stable. 

Your upgrade is now complete. 

Finalize upgrade to a feature version

To finalize the upgrade:

  1. Wait for the cluster status to change to Ready to run upgrade tasks. This won't happen until all nodes are active, and running the same upgraded version. 
  2. Select the Run upgrade tasks and finalize upgrade button. 
  3. One node will start running upgrade tasks. Tail the logs on this node if you want to monitor the process. 
  4. Wait for confirmation that the upgrade is complete. The cluster status will change to Stable. 

Your upgrade is now complete.

More about upgrade tasks...

Upgrade tasks make any required changes to your database and file system, for example changing the database schema or the way index files are stored in the local home directories. 

There are a few things you should know about upgrade tasks:

  • One cluster node will run the upgrade tasks on the database and other nodes. If there's a problem, logs will be written to the application log on this node. 
  • The status of other nodes in the cluster may change to Running upgrade tasks momentarily to indicate that an upgrade task is making a change to the file system on that node. The node actually running the upgrade tasks does not change. 
  • Depending on the the size or complexity of your data, some upgrade tasks can take several hours to complete. We generally include a warning in the upgrade notes for the particular version if an upgrade task is likely to take a significant amount of time. 
  • It's not necessary to direct traffic away from the node running upgrade tasks, but if you know the upgrade tasks are likely to be significant, you may want to do this to avoid any performance impact.
