Nice to see that its getting some progress on it making it easier for everyone.
However just in the process of upgrading 15 VSX clusters with 2 - 4 members in VSLS R80.30 3.10 to R81.10
And sadly its getting active / active on a few times meaning full production outage, so we stopped with that.
(not related to sk174510 as R80.30 3.10 should use the same as R80.40.)
But i will give it a go again in a few months 🙂
May be due to some priv hotfixes, so we decided to go for clean install and MVC worked much better.
Clean install also saved about 1-2hours of the maintenance window due to boot time with large VSX clusters.
Also went for R80.40 due to some bugs first fixed in ongoing hfa on R81.10,
Still have some requests here.
- Possibility to keep 2 of 3 members active (more or less pick how many members upgrade same time)
As 1 may not manage the complete load.
- Pick the actual failover, so it fit better with maintenance windows.
It look very seamless here but put 30->50 VS in the cluster and you see the time increase by alot.
Its much much faster after running R81.10 on the MGMT server, before it was a nightmare.
- Pause the upgrade, related to above to provide time for testing.
- Install the JFA before continue to use the node, (see that this was covered below, Thanks!)
