Hope you dont mind but I believe that autocorrect has caused an issue for you here:
cluster upgrade start –mode prechecks_only
should be:
cluster upgrade start – -mode prechecks_only
Thought I’d point it out.
Hi Max,
This is actually what I wrote (two minus signs in front of “mode”). Maybe the font was not that clear. I changed now the font so it’s better readable.
Thanks for pointing this out.
