Greetings!
Hi Data Security Team,
Hope you can enlighten me on this.
We are planning to upgrade GDE 4.0.0.1 to 4.0.0.4 then to 4.0.0.9 in preparation for migrating it to a GDE 5.1.0 (CTM).
Upon reviewing the documentation, it tells that the upgrade should be done on the initial node. The steps are:
- Break the DSM Cluster
- remove fail-over nodes
- login to fail-over nodes, then cleanup HA config
- Upgrade the initial node
- Upgrade the failover nodes
- Rebuild the cluster
I am not the one who built the environment and the team members are having trouble finding the old records for this environment.
My question is, how can I identify what node is the initial node?
On GDE 3.0, it is easy to identify the initial node because you can only apply changes on the initial node and fail-over nodes are on READ ONLY mode by default. However, from what I have observed, the default for GDE 4.0 fail-over nodes are no longer in READ ONLY.
Are there indicators in the GUI that I may have missed?
When I check the console, and run ha >> show , it only shows the list of nodes in alphabetical order and no indicators for the initial node.
Regards,
- Julius
