Prism updates question

Hi All,

Assume one cluster, all the same model.
Can anyone confirm whether downloading the updates from the software upgrades option in prism for a cluster downloads the updates individually for each node? Or does it download it once and distributes the updates among the nodes.

Our networking guy reckons he’s seeing the updates get downloaded 4x times for our 4 node cluster.

I couldn’t find any documentation to confirm so I thought I’d ask the community.

Cheers guys…

Hi @j_seet 

updates are downloaded on one node and then distributed, it then copies to all nodes for upgrade.
