upgrade cluster {--package=|-P }package_name cluster_name

This command upgrades the cluster named cluster_name to the software package package_name. If the cluster is running, then upgrade cluster accomplishes this by performing a rolling restart of the cluster.

The new package must be registered using add package before you can use it for an upgrade; otherwise, upgrade cluster fails with an error.

For example, suppose mycluster is using MySQL Cluster NDB 7.1.17, and the binaries are registered with a package named 7.1.17, as shown by this list clusters command:

mcm> list clusters mysite;
+-----------+---------+
| Cluster   | Package |
+-----------+---------+
| mycluster | 7.1.17  |
+-----------+---------+
1 row in set (1.80 sec)

Now you wish to upgrade mycluster to MySQL Cluster NDB 7.1.19. Assuming that you have placed the NDB 7.1.19 binaries in the same directory on each host, the add package command to create a new package named 7.1.19 that contains these binaries might look something like this:

mcm> add package --basedir=/usr/local/ndb-7.1.19 7.1.19;
+----------------------------+
| Command result             |
+----------------------------+
| Package added successfully |
+----------------------------+
1 row in set (0.88 sec)

Both packages should now be listed in the output of the command list packages mysite. To perform the upgrade to the 7.1.19 package, use the upgrade cluster command as shown here:

mcm> upgrade cluster --package=7.1.19 mycluster;
+-------------------------------+
| Command result                |
+-------------------------------+
| Cluster upgraded successfully |
+-------------------------------+
1 row in set (3 min 17.00 sec)

Once the upgrade cluster command has been successfully executed, you can verify that mycluster is now using the 7.1.19 package from the output of the appropriate list clusters command:

mcm> list clusters mysite;
+-----------+---------+
| Cluster   | Package |
+-----------+---------+
| mycluster | 7.1.19  |
+-----------+---------+
1 row in set (1.80 sec)

Despite the name of this command, upgrade cluster can also be used to perform MySQL Cluster downgrades.

MySQL Cluster Manager does not allow cluster upgrades or downgrades not supported by MySQL Cluster. Before attempting any upgrade or downgrade using the upgrade cluster command, be sure to consult Upgrading and Downgrading MySQL Cluster, to determine whether MySQL Cluster supports the upgrade or downgrade in question, and for any known issues regarding the changes you intend to make.
