Openserver VSX R80.40 to R81.20

[jkougoulos]

Hello,

we run a HA VSX cluster R80.40 and we want to upgrade to R81.20

we see that HA is not really good choice for 81.20, so we will change the current cluster to VSLS before the upgrade.

What we see so far in documentation shows that the upgrade should be smooth but I see also for example that eg sk69621 for assigning interface names through udev rules is not applicable for R81.20

Do you have any feedback for the udev rules in R81.20?

Also, any other things to consider? Eg should we better go first to R81.10 or do the VSLS after the upgrade?

R81.20 does udev rules just like all R80.10+ versions.

I actually took this exact cluster from R80.40 directly to R81.20. It worked fine.

I don't remember when we set up VSLS, but that's pretty easy to do. May as well enable it on R80.40 before the upgrade.
