Upgrade Notes

Refer to the following known issues before upgrading:

  • Upgrading self-hosted Palette or Palette VerteX from version 4.6.x to 4.7.x can cause the upgrade to hang if any member of the MongoDB ReplicaSet is not fully synced and in a healthy state prior to the upgrade. For guidance on verifying the health status of MongoDB ReplicaSet members, refer to our Troubleshooting guide.

  • A known issue impacts all self-hosted Palette instances older then 4.4.14. Before upgrading an Palette instance with version older than 4.4.14, ensure that you execute a utility script to make all your cluster IDs unique in your Persistent Volume Claim (PVC) metadata. For more information, refer to the Troubleshooting Guide.

  • Prior to upgrading VMware vSphere VerteX installations from version 4.3.x to 4.4.x, complete the steps outlined in the Mongo DNS ConfigMap Issue guide. Addressing this Mongo DNS issue will prevent system pods from experiencing CrashLoopBackOff errors after the upgrade.

    After the upgrade, if Enterprise Cluster backups are stuck, refer to the Enterprise Backup Stuck troubleshooting guide for resolution steps.
