Starting with version 8.2.0, OneFS supports automatically installing a patch during a OneFS upgrade. Use the newly added parameter --patch-paths of isi upgrade start to include a patch to install when staring a OneFS upgrade. The following is an example:
isi upgrade start --install-image-path=<OneFS image path> --patch-paths=<patch path>
There are some considerations to be aware of:
tme-sandbox-2# isi upgrade patches list
Patch Name Description Status
--------------------------------------------
hp-provision Halfpipe test files Partial
--------------------------------------------
Total: 1
After the patch has been installed successfully on all nodes, the status will be changed to installed.
tme-sandbox-2# isi upgrade patches list
Patch Name Description Status
--------------------------------------------
hp-provision Halfpipe test files Installed
--------------------------------------------
Note: Dell Technologies recommends adding additional patches be requested after upgrade has been started but before any nodes have been upgraded before commit. Otherwise it only applies to the remaining nodes. The nodes already upgraded will need to be reconciled manually on each node.
The following is an example:
Start a OneFS upgrade using the following command.
isi upgrade start --nodes=1 --install-image- path=/ifs/PipelineBeta/OneFS_v8.2.0.BETA.2_Install.tar.gz --skip-optional
Before any PowerScale node gets rebooted, run the following two commands to add to additional patch during the OneFS upgrade process:
isi_patch register /ifs/PipelineBeta/hp-provision.pkg
isi_patch register /ifs/PipelineBeta/hp-base.pkg
The two patches are added to the patch list with partial status:
tme-sandbox-3# isi upgrade patches list
Patch Name Description Status
---------------------------------------------------
hp-base Patch interaction - Base patch Partial
hp-provision Halfpipe test files Partial
---------------------------------------------------
After the patches have been installed successfully on all PowerScale nodes, the status will be changed to Installed.

hp-provision Halfpipe test files Installed
