[Gluster-users] How safe are major version upgrades?
Hello, We have a production system with around 50GB of data running GlusterFS 5.13. It has 3 replicating/mirrored nodes, and also geo-replicates to another site. How safe would it be to upgrade to a more recent major version, eg 7.x? I'm not sure how recommended in-place upgrades are, or if a complete re-install is necessary for safety. We have a maximum window of around 4 hours for this upgrade and would not want any significant risk of an unsuccessful upgrade at the end of that time. Is version 8.0 considered stable? Thanks in advance, -- David Cunningham, Voisonics Limited http://voisonics.com/ USA: +1 213 221 1092 New Zealand: +64 (0)28 2558 3782 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Hi, we have 2 replicate-3 systems, and i upgraded both online from 5.12 to 6.8 and then to 7.6. No (big) problems here, upgrade took between 10 to 20 minutes (wait until healing is done) - but no geo replication, so i can't say anything about that part. Best regards, Hubert Am Di., 25.
