Fred, George,
An update from 3.5 to 4.2 is supported, but it requires the entire cluster to be shut down during the update. (since the update goes across two major releases)

Assuming you want to maintain your cluster and the file systems you have created you would need to upgrade to Spectrum Scale 4.2.3.x (4.1.x is no longer supported). I think an upgrade from 3.5 to 4.2 is supported. Once you have upgraded to 4.2.3.x (the latest PTF is 20, 4.2.3.20) you can then upgrade to Scale 5.0.x. You show Scale 5.0.3 but 5.0.4 is available and its latest version is 5.0.4.2. As you do the upgrades you should also execute the commands, "mmchconfig release=LATEST" and "mmchfs <fs_name> -v full", where <fs_name> is a file system name. You should only execute those commands once all nodes in the cluster are upgraded. If you have clusters remotely mounting file systems from this cluster then those clusters need to be upgraded before you execute the mmchfs command.Hopefully you are aware that GPFS 3.5 went out of service in April 2018.

Subject: [EXTERNAL] [gpfsug-discuss] Upgrade GPFS 3.5 to Spectrum Scale 5.0.3

Hello,
I've a question about upgrade of GPFS 3.5. We have an infrastructure with GSPF 3.5.0.33 and we need upgrade to Spectrum Scale 5.0.3.
Can we upgrade from 3.5 to 4.1, 4.2 and 5.0.3 or can we do something additional like unistall GPFS 3.5 and install Spectrum Scale 5.0.3?
Thank youGeorge_______________________________________________
