It dependsĀ šŸ˜
If you catch it early enough, the automated process seemingly continuously checks the process and pauses until the giveback completes.
I missed it one time for an hour (went to lunch). It took between 3-10 minutes but it detected and continued automagically.

Anymore these days, I try to kick it off from the GUI. It is just too easy not to. Not like the old days with the hours-worth of manually checks and the process to upgrade which took 1-2 hours depending on node count.

I have not seen it, but I think there is a check in the GUI to continue if something odd happens. Cannot attest to what ODD may be as I have not personally seen anything.

Thanks for the info.Ā  I'm familiar with the vetoed giveback due to
CIFS - we hit that during unplanned failover events.Ā  Good to know I
can expect that during upgrades as well.

Are you initiating the upgrade from the GUI?Ā  Ā Also, when you override
the CIFS veto, do you then need to issue a "cluster image
resume-update" or resume from the GUI somewhere?
