I understand that Genesha supports HA configurations. Software upgrades are a lot more
frequent than hardware failures. The ability to do upgrades is actually more of a
motivation for HA than handling failures. Do you support rolling upgrades, i.e. upgrading
one node while the other is active? That would require that the two nodes would end up
with different versions for at least some period of time.

Hi,
To the best of my knowledge there's no reason why a rolling upgrade
wouldn't work seamlessly.
There's nothing version specific about the recovery and no reason I'm aware
of that differing versions of ganesha wouldn't work side by side in an HA
cluster over the course of an upgrade.
I suggest you play it safe and try it in a non-production environment
before doing it on a production system.
HTH.

Expanding on that, the information we save for recovery hasn't changed
in a while, so upgrades should be fine. However, make sure you do an
unclean shutdown of the Ganesha to be upgraded (e.g., kill -9 rather
than kill) since a clean shutdown will clean up all the state/locks/open
files and so on, making recovery by active clients impossible.

Even a graceful shutdown should work fine unless there are some bugs in the
shutdown path. The client should NOT use "soft" mount option though. We
have used graceful shutdown (with GPFS fsal), and didn't encounter any
issue yet.
