Updates using CAU

Before applying the updates on cluster update groups, verify the following:

  • Ensure that the enrolled user has administrator privileges for updating clusters through CAU feature.
  • Connectivity to selected update source.
  • Availability of failover clusters.
  • Ensure that Windows Server 2012 or Windows Server 2012 R2 or Windows 2016 operating system is installed on all failover cluster nodes to support the CAU feature.
  • Configuration of automatic updates is not enabled to automatically install updates on any failover cluster node.
  • Enable firewall rule that enables remote shutdown on each node in the failover cluster.
  • Cluster group should have minimum of two nodes.
  • Check for cluster update readiness and ensure that there are no major errors and warnings in the Cluster Readiness report for applying the CAU method. For more information about CAU, see Requirements and Best Practices for Cluster—aware Updating section at Technet.microsoft.com.
