Abstract: Systems and method for expanding a cluster with nodes before an upgrade so that the cluster can handle a failover event during an upgrade and still continue operating. The system and method includes receiving, at a processor, a signal indicating a cluster is about to commence an upgrade; computing, by the processor, a first number of nodes; adding, by the processor, the first number of nodes from a network to the cluster before the upgrade is performed on the cluster; receiving, at the processor, a signal indicating the cluster finished the upgrade; and removing a second number of nodes that is no greater than the first number of nodes from the cluster after the processor receives the signal indicating the upgrade is complete.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a system for managing communication connections in a virtualization environment includes (1) a first host machine implementing a virtualization environment based on a first platform, wherein the first host machine includes a first hypervisor, at least one virtual machine, and one or more virtual infrastructure elements and (2) a virtual disk including a plurality of storage devices. A management module for the system may perform steps to convert the first host machine to a second platform by installing (on the first host machine) a second hypervisor associated with the second platform, disabling the first hypervisor, capturing a configuration describing elements of a virtual infrastructure associated with the first hypervisor, registering the captured configuration with the second hypervisor, creating elements of the captured configuration in the context of the second platform and in association with the second hypervisor, and then enabling the second hypervisor.
