Name	Type	Constraint	Mandatory	Default Value
update_group	String	Regex: `^[a-zA-Z0-9_.:-]{1,64}$`	No

update_groups (apic.node_policies)

Name	Type	Constraint	Mandatory	Default Value
name	String	Regex: `^[a-zA-Z0-9_.:-]{1,64}$`	Yes

Examples

Example-1: this example demonstrates a basic update group MG1, where node 101 is associated to the relevant group.

apic:
  node_policies:
    update_groups:
      - name: MG1
    nodes:
      - id: 101
        update_group: MG1

Example-2: this example demonstrates a typical ACI deployment setup, with the ODD_NODES group for odd nodes, and the EVEN_NODES group for even nodes. Assuming all devices connected to ACI are dual-homed for redundancy, this enables the ACI fabric to upgrade with minimal to no service interruption. The upgrade groups also define the target_version attribute to specify the firwmare image of n6-0.9(e), meaning APIC release 6.0(9e).

apic:
  node_policies:
    update_groups:
      - name: ODD_NODES
        target_version: n6-0.9(e)
      - name: EVEN_NODES
        target_version: n6-0.9(e)
    nodes:
      - id: 201
        role: leaf
        update_group: ODD_NODES
      - id: 202
        role: leaf
        update_group: EVEN_NODES
