  1. Download the patch for the selected version from the Download portal. The file has the .patch extension.
    Ensure the patch file has the required permissions to run on the cluster nodes.
  2. Run the following command to apply a VA patch file across all nodes in the high-availability cluster.
    CODE 
    appdcli upgrade [patch_file] [--ssh-user <user>] [-y\|--yes]

    The default SSH user is appduser. The command previews the update contents and requests confirmation unless you specify --yes.

    Warning: Configure passwordless SSH for the selected SSH user on peer nodes before applying an update. If peer copy or update application fails, the operation stops.
  3. Synchronize each affected service group so that running pods use the staged charts and images.
    CODE 
    appdcli sync appd <profile>
