Introduction

...

The software upgrade process can involve updating the MSA, Plugin, DRVA/RocVA/Cluster, and performing post-upgrade clean-up. It is essential to understand not all JetStream DR versions will necessarily require the upgrade of all components. To ensure a smooth upgrade experience, adhere to the prerequisites listed below.

Note

Roll-back options from an upgrade are not supported.
Since JetStream DR is comprised of multiple components (MSA, DRVA, IO Filter, Plugin, etc..) that span the environment, rollback/revert to a prior JetStream DR version after an upgrade is not possible. Furthermore, VMware does not support the rollback of IO filters and plugins.

Info

The time required to complete an upgrade process is affected by various external factors beyond the control of JetStream Software (e.g., enter/exit ESX host maintenance mode); therefore, it is not possible to know how long a software upgrade will take before the operation has begun. Schedule your upgrade calendar accordingly.

...

  • At the conclusion of the software upgrade, the script should gracefully exit with Run execution status indicating“Succeeded.”

  • Validate the status from the JetStream DR UI:

    ******************************This completes the Jetstream DR upgrade for AVS******************************

Note

If it is observed the cluster indicates an upgraded version, but if some hosts still report an old IOF version, utilize the "Resolve Cluster Issue" Run command to address the discrepancy.
