  4. Perform yum update as mentioned in Section 9.1.1, “Upgrading from Red Hat Gluster Storage 2.1.x to Red Hat Gluster Storage 3.1 for Systems Subscribed to Red Hat Network”.
  5. Once the Red Hat Gluster Storage nodes are rebooted and up, Activate them using Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager.

    Note

    Re-installation of Red Hat Gluster Storage nodes is required, as the network configurations and bootstrapping configurations done prior to upgrade are preserved, unlike ISO upgrade.
