Before starting this procedure, inform the system operator that completing this 
procedure commits the upgrade. Any attempt to roll back from the upgrade after the 
mirrors are attached will take up to 4 hours to complete. Additionally, the rollback 
procedure cannot be performed during the current night and will have to be 
performed during a maintenance window tomorrow. 

 

Follow this procedure to run a script that attaches submirrors to their respective
