I only ask that we look beyond the trivial. The existing multi-cluster setup with mixed versions of servers already work fine with 4000+ clients on 4.1. We still have 3 legacy servers on 3.5, we already have a server on 4.1 also serving fine. The brand new 4.1 server we added last week seems to be at odds for some reason, not that obvious.

Thanks

Quoting "Buterbaugh, Kevin L" <[email protected]>:

Hi Eric, Jamie,

Interesting comment as we do exactly the opposite!

I always make sure that my servers are running a particular version before I upgrade any clients. Now we never mix and match major versions (i.e. 4.x and 3.x) for long ? those kinds of upgrades we do rapidly. But right now I?ve got clients running 4.2.0-3 talking just fine to 4.2.2.3 servers.

To be clear, I?m not saying I?m right and Eric?s wrong at all - just an observation / data point. YMMV?

Kevin

Hi Jamie:

I think typically you want to keep the clients ahead of the server in version. I would advance the version of you client nodes.

New clients can communicate with older versions of server nsds. Vice versa...no so much.
