  1. Using Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager, stop all virtual machine instances in the data center.
  2. Using Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager, move the data domain backed by gluster volume to Maintenance mode.
  3. Using Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager, move all Red Hat Storage nodes to Maintenance mode.
  4. Perform yum update as mentioned in Section 6.2, “Upgrading from Red Hat Storage 2.0 to Red Hat Storage 2.1 using yum”.
  5. Once the Red Hat Storage nodes are rebooted and up, Activate them using Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager.

    Note

    Re-installation of Red Hat Storage nodes is required, as the network configurations and bootstrapping configurations done prior to upgrade are preserved, unlike ISO upgrade.
  6. Using Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager, start the volume.
  7. Upgrade the native client on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.4, in case Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.4 is used as hypervisor.

  8. Activate the data domain and start all the virtual machine instances.
