After the upgrade completes, rediscover the nodes to recompute node health status.
■
GigaVUE-FM backup and restore files use a text based format; binary backups or
restore on physical nodes are not supported. For binary backups, you must use the CLI
commands rather than GigaVUE-FM. For more information about the CLI commands,
refer to the
GigaVUE-OS CLI Reference Guide
