3- Other nodes with this package will get the news and try to download the firmware.
4- Once all the nodes have the firmware in their tmp folder the main node user will be able to schedule the safe upgrade of all the nodes (this last step is done synchronously).
5- After the specified time (60s default) all the nodes will start the safe upgrade process and the nodes will reboot.
6- The nodes will report that the new firmware has to be confirmed.
