Step 3: Upgrade Clients

After you upgrade your cluster, you may also need to upgrade your data-fabric client or POSIX client.

When you upgrade the cluster, consider if your data-fabric client or your POSIX client needs to be upgraded as well. See Planning Upgrades to Data Fabric Clients.

Additionally, POSIX loopbacknfs clients can be migrated to FUSE-based POSIX clients on Basic POSIX client packages. POSIX loopbacknfs clients can not be migrated to Platinum POSIX client packages.

See Migrating to FUSE-based POSIX Clients for more information.

NOTE Basic and Platinum POSIX client packages are recommended for fresh installation and for all new clusters.
