I've inplace updated my S2D cluster from 2019 to 2022

Hi all,

 

Following from this thread Anybody updated their s2d cluster yet, asking for a friend......

 

I put this off for a year but performed this update this week (during production hours!).

 

We have a 3 node s2d cluster.

 

Basically did the below;

 

Backed up all the nodes before anything (we have a veeam job for this)

 

1) Did "Disk cleanup" on all nodes

2) Drained node 1

3) Evicted node 1 from cluster

4) Did a in place update to 2022 on node 1(couple of restarts)

5) Added back to cluster once updated

6) Waited for storage health to sync/update and become healthy

7) repeat above for remaining nodes

8) once all running 2022 and storage was healthy update the cluster functional level once happy

 

I followed the below video which is for server 2019 but is the same.

 

 

Hope that helps others looking to do this. I did this during the day and didn't have a loss of service.

The evict and in place is quite easy, and it does work. The only gotcha is to look for updated drivers. I havent found any changes for our dell stuff on 2019 to 2022 but there was when we moved to 2019.
