Cloud Flex storage upgrade information

• VMware Cloud Flex Storage

Issue/Introduction

What is the impact to VLCR during the Flex storage upgrade?

Environment

VLCR 7.x

Cause

This is a scheduled upgrade of a managed environment by VMware/Broadcom.

Resolution

There is no major impact to the Flex Storage itself since it is always in HA mode and we upgrade passive node first followed by failover then upgrading the remaining node.

Only Orchestrator can be down for a short period of time while the instance is getting upgraded.
