how to install hotfix

I have version 11.4.1 installed in HA Pair active and standby. I want to install hotfix5 and I have never installed hotfix before. I have uploaded in hotfix to hotfix images in GUI.

 

Now what would be the next step to install it? I will take a down time and will do on both at once. Will I need to configure Device group again or they will be in syn.

 

Steps.

 

  1. import hotfix in hotfix image.

     

  2. install image on HD1.2 which is inactive.

     

  3. Take UCS back file

     

  4. Switch to HD1.2

     

5.import UCS file and run it.

    No need to do anything with the Device Group. You will always install a HF to an inactive volume. Usually you'll have the base image installed onto this inactive volume. If you haven't BUT the image file is in the images list (in the cli shared/images) then by installing a HF it will install the image for you too.

     

    You won't need to restore from a UCS file (and download it), although it's always good practice to take one of course. When you activate the new volume you can migrate the current config.
