Virtual SAN Free Upgrade Considerations

[JasonJoel]

I am running v11404 on my 2 node hyperconverged home lab.

I see v11456 is released, and was thinking of upgrading to it.

Are there any considerations/suggestions/guidance for doing this correctly? Is it as simple as stopping the service and installing over the old version, or is there more to the upgrade? Any license concerns/issues?

JasonJoel,

There won't be any licensing issues. Below are the main steps to complete when updating StarWind VSAN in your case:
1. Check that all StarWind devices have the Synchronized status on both nodes;
2. Move all Cluster resources from the node which is going to be updated to the partner node;
3. Run the installer and update StarWind VSAN;
4. Wait until StarWind service starts and the synchronization process is over;
5. Repeat steps 2, 3 and 4 on the other node;
6. Redistribute the work load between the servers back to the initial state.
