Re: 3.3.0 -> 3.4.2 / Rolling upgrades with no downtime

[João Pagaime <joao.pagaime@xxxxxxxxx>]

hello Bryan and thanks for sharing!

how did you fix those 2 files on a  split-brain situation? deleted one "bad" file?

which one to select for deletion?

on an software update situation I would expect not to have peer probe problems, simply because there are no "gluster peer probe" commands. The problem that could happen is the updated 3.4.2 node having problems reentering a  3.3.0 cluster (without "peer probes" commands). It's good news it went well

best regards
joao

I just did this last week from 3.3.0->3.4.2.

I never got the peer probe problems - but I did end up with 2 files being in a split-brain situation.

Note: I only had ~hundred files that are qcow2 for KVM, so 2 files getting split-brain is about 2% filesystem problem.

Hello all

anyone tried a  rolling upgrades with no downtime [1] from 3.3.0 to 3.4.2 or similar upgrade? any comments?

for testing purposes we've installed a 3.4.2 server and it won't peer, giving the error "peer probe: failed: Peer X does not support required op-version".

I guess this is expected behavior for a new entry on the cluster

What about changing the software on an existing peer of the cluster? Will it also refuse to re-enter the cluster after the upgrade for the same reason (peers not supporting the required op-version)?

After all servers and clients are upgraded, how to increase the op-version of the global cluster?

best regards,
joão
