<div>My first suggestion is: Don’t deploy the CES nodes manually – way to many package dependencies. Get those setup right and the installer does a good job.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>If you go through and define your cluster nodes to the installer, you can do a GPFS upgrade that way. I’ve run into some issues, especially with clone OS versions of RedHat. (ie, CentOS) It doesn’t give you a whole lot of control over what it does – give
it a ty and it may work well for you. But run it in a test cluster first or on a limited set of nodes.</div>

<div>We have multiple clusters with thousands of nsd's surely there is an</div>
<div>upgrade path. Are you all saying just continue to manually update nsd</div>
<div>servers and manage them as we did previously. Is the installer not</div>
<div>needed if there are current setups. Just deploy CES manually?</div>
