Serial | Upgrade all the host upgrade unit groups consecutively. This selection is useful to maintain the step-by-step upgrade of the host components. . |
Parallel | Upgrade all the host upgrade unit groups simultaneously. You can upgrade up to five hosts simultaneously. |
When an upgrade unit fails to upgrade | Select to pause the upgrade process if any host upgrade fails. |
After each group completes | Select to pause the upgrade process after each host upgrade unit group finishes upgrading. |
