Isilon Node Firmware Updates

Question

I am relatively new to performing OneFS code and firmware updates. I have reviewed the various support docs and I am able to successfully install OneFS Code Upgrades, Roll UP Patchs (RUPs), Healthcheck patches, and Drive Firmware. However, I am having trouble finding or figuring out the correct process for installing Node Firmware. While I believe I am reviewing the correct support docs, I think I am now confusing myself with the various isi upgrade cluster and patches commands.

Isilon Gen 6 running OneFS 8.2.2

I have reviewed the following.
Dell EMC PowerScale:Non-Disruptive Upgrade Best Practices - Aug 2020
OneFS 8.2.2 CLI Reference and the Administration Guide

I suspect that I am missing something obvious or making it more difficult than it really is.
At this point, I would greatly appreciate a high level start-to-finish process and commands

Thank you,
Bryan

Hello bryan_washburn,

You can look at the release notes and it will tell you how to upgrade the node firmware. Here is the release notes for 10.3.5 & the instructions are listed in the notes. https://dell.to/3euLQEW

Thank you for your reply. Having reviewed the contents of this site before, and again per your suggestion, I am still unable to find any reference to a process for performing Node Firmware updates.
I have, however, found three broken web links on this page.
Please point me to the specific documentation pages that explain how to perform a Node Firmware Update.
