Hi,

 

I am currently going through the documentation to plan the update but some points are not clear to me:

https://documentation.commvault.com/2023e/expert/migrating_hyperscale_x_version_on_existing_nodes.html

Is this paper for both Hyperscale (appliance and RA)?

 

The migration process migrates and reboots each node in the cluster from RHEL7 to Rocky8 sequentially. This process may take several hours to complete.

Can I continue to perform backups while the cluster is being updated? (I'm thinking of the database log backups)

We have a 6-node cluster, does anyone have experience with the duration?

 

Thanks

Michael

Yes

Yes, you can do it if the nodes can't be put in meintenance as the node to be upgrade will have services stopped.

It would take ~1.5 Hrs per node
