Introduction

Assumptions… You want to upgrade your Private Cloud infrastructure

Assumptions… What you care about most is that the people that use your Private Cloud infrastructure do not notice that it is being upgraded

Assumptions… Buying new hardware in order to upgrade will really slow down the process

Assumptions… Just because you are upgrading software right now, does not mean that SLAs no longer apply

Assumptions… Maintaining high-availability throughout the upgrade process is important

Assumptions… Guest operating systems are upgraded with a different cadence / process to that of virtual infrastructure

Integration Services Stage integration services upgrade to happen on next natural reboot: D:\Support\AMD64\Setup.exe /quiet /norestart

Alternate Approaches Start with a one node 2012 R2 cluster

Alternate Approaches Buy new hardware to act as the “seed” for the 2012 R2 cluster

Alternate Approaches Take advantage of save state compatibility through: - In place upgrade - Virtual machine import

Cluster Validation Will require downtime unless you are using Windows File Server storage

Windows Server 2008 R2 to Windows Server 2012 R2
