CAUTION: Make sure that all the backup processes described in this section have been completed before
you start the upgrade. Failure to do so could result in data loss.
CAUTION: If you are upgrading a cluster you must upgrade all blades in the cluster to the same software
version.
Note: While you are upgrading a cluster, or restarting it for another reason, the master cannot report the
cluster's full capacity until the slaves have also restarted. Any devices that poll the master for such
information should check that the slaves are back up before assuming that the capacity has permanently
been reduced, or that there is some other fault in the cluster.
