Hello,

I am running a small cluster of 3 nodes. I would like to upgrade those nodes to 
the newer versions. The problem I will run into is a requirement for no down 
time. 

My normal upgrade plan is to live migrate vms off of node-1  to the remaining 2 
nodes. I then upgrade and reboot node-1. Once node-1 is operational, I move vms 
from node-2 to node-1. I upgrade and reboot node-2. I follow the same for 
node-3.

The issue I will run into is that once I upgrade node-1, I won’t be able to 
migrate vms from node-2 back to it because of the version mismatch on 
qemu-server and pve-cluster. The migration will fail. The only option I will 
have is to shutdown the vm and move the conf file. Back to the no down time 
requirement, this is less than ideal.

Is there another way to migrate the vms with the new version packages using the 
old method that doesn’t detect or a separate migration network?

Thanks!

    makes sense, should have been made sense a few days ago this, would not 
    be too hard to catch :/
    
    anyway, for anyone reading this:
    When upgrading qemu-server to version 4.0.93 or newer you should upgrade 
    all other nodes pve-cluster package to version 4.0-47 or newer, else 
    migrations to those nodes will not work - as we use a new command to 
    detect if we should send the traffic over a separate migration network.
    
    cheers,
    Thomas
