Expect the upgrade process to take
approximately 8 to10 minutes, during which EFA services are down.
About this task
The upgrade process takes backup of the EFA system before starting the procedure. In case of
any failures in upgrade, use this backup to recover the data. For more information,
see Recover from an Upgrade Failure.
