Hi I have the following case for the CMC.  
The console is throwing cluster update errors,&nbsp;  
this is because the scheduled upgrade to the cluster failed,&nbsp;  
the version to which dynatrace is intended to be upgraded is 1.284,&nbsp;  
which does not support the RHEL 8.4 operating system.

Among the requirements is the RHEL 8.6 - 8.9 operating system,&nbsp;  
as a minimum.

We request information of the alternatives that you have for your upgrade,&nbsp;  
as well as the best route and the recommended version for the operating systems,&nbsp;  
understanding that due to practices the client does not install the latest versions of the operating systems.

Currently a CMC is working with 3 nodes, RHEL 8.4 operating system and Dynatrace Managed&nbsp;is at 1.280

[@smascorro](https://community.dynatrace.com/user/9783)&nbsp; I am using Dynatrace Managed. In the past, I’ve been cautious about upgrading Dynatrace versions from old to new because sometimes it doesn’t support the OS, as in your case. I don’t believe we have a specific solution other than staying with the supported version. There’s no harm in opening a support ticket, but I think the best course of action is to stick with the supported version until the OS itself gets updated.

[@sujit\_k\_singh](https://community.dynatrace.com/user/67382)  
Thanks, but my question is directed to know which version of the operating system I should or should stay to support the latest updates of Dynatrace and what would be the route, ie I can go removing node by node of my couster, I go up to the version of the operating system supported, I apply Dyntrace updates and know if after this I can reintegrate it to clouster.

The automatic upgrade won’t work until you update the OS.

> **[Apply operating system patches to a node](https://docs.dynatrace.com/managed/managed-cluster/operation/apply-operating-system-patches-to-a-node)**

Alternatively you can manually update the cluster

[https://docs.dynatrace.com/managed/shortlink/managed-update#manually-triggered-update](https://docs.dynatrace.com/managed/shortlink/managed-update#manual-update)

When updating the nodes manually, you can use a parameter (--ignore-os-check) to temporarily bypass the operating system check. After completing the update to version 1.282, you can update to version 1.284. Be aware that this procedure is not officially supported.
