Upgrade RCF files on MetroCluster IP switches

Summary

This step:

2 - Prepare the IP switches for the application of the new RCF files.

And this step:

3 - Download and install the IP RCF file, depending on your switch vendor.

Need to be done one switch at a time. However, this warning isn't shown until step #3.

Update the switches in the following order: Switch_A_1, Switch_B_1, Switch_A_2, Switch_B_2

Just by reading it is possible to misinterpret and perform step #2 on all switches and then do step #3 one switch at a time which would result in issues.

I'm not sure the best way to convey this detail. But basically you do this order: Switch_A_1 Step #2 and #3

Switch_B_1 Step #2 and #3

Switch_A_2 Step #2 and #3

Switch_B_2 Step #2 and #3

This section has a similar type back and forth at the bottom that might be good to mimic: https://docs.netapp.com/us-en/ontap-metrocluster/maintain/task_upgrade_firmware_on_mcc_ip_switches.html

Thanks as always for the great documentation!!
