v8.102 doesn't support Active/Passive clustering

James Bourne
Hi all,

I need to upgrade an HA hardware cluster from v7 to v8.

I was reading this: https://support.astaro.com/support/index.php/Migrating_from_V7_to_V8

But then I was advised by one of my engineers that:

"A product update to version 8 is available.  However, since you are using a HA or cluster setup, you cannot upgrade at the moment, because the upgrade does not yet support HA/Cluster systems."

Is this right? Or am I dreaming? Or do I need to just wipe each ASG.

Cheers,

j.

    I recently demoed a pair of ASG in active/active cluster mode. In order to perform the upgrade to v8 I broke the cluster, upgraded each node, and rebuilt the cluster. I also noticed that my Licence key needed to have the following line in order to even update to v8.
    LicenseMode = ondemand

    Yes, you must have a "new model" license in order to do the in-place upgrade.  Contact your reseller if you have any questions regarding this; the license conversion process is straightforward and incurrs no additional cost to you.

    7.510 will allow you to update a HA configuration WITHOUT breaking the cluster or active/passive configuration.  It is currently in soft-release, and should be general release within a week or so (probably sooner, it's been in soft-release a while).

    Please Read this Thread -- first question I asked was for more detail regarding HA updates!
