Hi Reid, Thank you for the answer. So my plan will be:
* pcs config backup /root/"Server Name" * create a backup of /etc/corosync/ * create a backup of /etc/postfix * pcs cluster stop “server3” --> just to do the failover to server4. The command pcs cluster stop “server3” will stop corosync and pacemaker right? * run pcs status on server3 which should give an error message. And on server4 should show 1 offline node and one online node * Upgrade server3 to OLE8 which will upgrade these 3 package to: corosync x86_64 3.1.7-1.el8 pacemaker x86_64 2.1.5-9.3.0.1.el8_8 pcs x86_64 0.10.15-4.0.1.el8_8.1 * Then run crm_verify to check the configuration. If the verification is OK then, * pcs cluster start “server3” * run pcs status on both nodes. Please see the version of the current installed software.

If yes then upgrade the second node to OLE8. My questions: Will Pacemaker configuration works after the upgrade? Hi, It should. Pacemaker supports rolling upgrades from 1.1.11 (and above) to 2.x.x. Other components besides Pacemaker may break, so I'd suggest having a backout plan before any upgrade activity. Do I need to make any changes before or after the upgrade to OLE8? So server3 will be done first and then server4. Is that the right order? Do I need to stop any services before the upgrade? For Pacemaker, follow the procedure at https://clusterlabs.org/pacemaker/doc/2.1/Pacemaker_Administration/singlehtml/#upgrading-a-pacemaker-cluster<https://clusterlabs.org/pacemaker/doc/2.1/Pacemaker_Administration/singlehtml/#upgrading-a-pacemaker-cluster>. Based on your plan, you should focus particularly on the rolling upgrade section. Refer to your OS vendor's documentation for any other steps you should take during an OS upgrade.
