The Grid Master distributes the upgrade software to each member in the Grid, including itself. Alternatively, you can also schedule the Grid distribution. 

You can distribute the software upgrade throughout the Grid immediately as follows:

1. From the **Grid** tab, select the **Upgrade** tab, and then click **Distribute** > **Distribute** **Now** from the Toolbar.
2. In the confirmation dialog box, click **Yes** to start the distribution.

The distribution starts and if there is an active distribution scheduled, the appliance changes its status to inactive. The appliance distributes the upgrade files and displays the status of the distribution in the status bar. You can pause, resume, or stop the distribution by clicking the corresponding icon in the status bar.

Note that starting a manual distribution cancels a scheduled distribution.
