Abstract: The disclosure provides for systems and methods for performing upgrades in virtual environments. Some implementations are directed to using an upgrade service to provide pre-upgrade component detection and validation on host(s). A software package may be submitted to an existing software upgrade procedure of a host. The software package may include an upgrade executable that, when launched, provides a new software service, including initializing one or more new public-facing APIs to provide pre-upgrade host component detection and validation. Some implementations are directed to coordinating the upgrade of a first host using an upgrade service launched on another networked machine or second host. While running an upgrade service, the first host may make a request to the second host to coordinate the upgrade of components of the first host while the first host or a VM of the first host running the upgrade service is shut down.

Abstract: Cluster groups define a relationship between clusters in an HCI system. New cluster groups may be created, and a cluster may be added or removed from an existing cluster group. A method and system are disclosed to support a dynamically scaled hyperconverged system with non-overlapping and overlapping cluster groups. A dynamically scalable hyperconverged system may allow for piece-wise upgrades while supporting inter-operable and non-interoperable components having a secure intercommunication capability. A system is disclosed for scaling a single managed hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) where all components are allowed to run a compatible communication protocol (e.g., interoperable communication protocol) but are not required to operate an interoperable software version. Further, methods are disclosed to a) illustrate consolidation of backups for a cluster of HCI nodes running interoperable and non-interoperable data exchange protocols; and b) dynamically organize groups of clusters to enforce interoperability requirements and simplify network configuration among these clusters.
