Perform the upgrade for the secondary node.
The upgrade procedure is the same as that for the primary node. Refer to "6.3.2.2 Performing Upgrade (Primary Node)".
Point
If this secondary node acts as a primary node for other Managed Server transactions, it is upgraded as a primary node, so this procedure is not needed.
There is no further action required after the upgrade for the secondary node.
Perform the following procedure:
Note that in these tasks, in addition to operations with the Managed Server, there are operations to execute from the Management Server and Web Console.
On the primary node, start the Managed Server transactions.
