Major issues
The following options are removed from the code base and require to be unset
before an upgrade from releases older than release 4.1.0,
- features.lock-heal
- features.grace-timeout
To check if these options are set use,
gluster volume info
and ensure that the above options are not part of the Options Reconfigured:
section in the output of all volumes in the cluster.
If these are set, then unset them using the following commands,
# gluster volume reset <volname> <option>
Make sure you are not using any of the following depricated features :
- Block device (bd) xlator
- Decompounder feature
- Crypt xlator
- Symlink-cache xlator
- Stripe feature
- Tiering support (tier xlator and changetimerecorder)
- Glupy
NOTE: Failure to do the above may result in failure during online upgrades, and the reset of these options to their defaults needs to be done prior to upgrading the cluster.
Online Upgrade: User will obsrve "Peer Rejected" issues while upgrading if NFS Ganesha is not enabled as the nfs options were made optional in this release causing checksum misamtch. Stopping and starting a server after upgrade should fix the issue.
