Correct. Upgrading StarWind VSAN includes restart of the StarWind VSAN service, which in turn means your storage becomes unavailable to the client connections for some small period of time. When you have multiple nodes, the partner service(s) will be able to help tolerate this, but in case of a single-node setup the storage will be dropped. This is why it is highly recommended to stop all VMs running before attempting to upgrade the software.
