Upgrading the vSAN Cluster

Upgrading vSAN is a multistage process, and you must perform the upgrade in a specific sequence.

Note:

The disk format upgrade is optional. If you use a previous disk format version, your vSAN cluster continues to run smoothly. For best results, upgrade the objects to use the latest on-disk format. The latest on-disk format provides the complete feature set of vSAN. To understand the vSAN upgrade process, see About the Virtual SAN Disk Format.
