Veritas InfoScale 8.0 Update 1 Release Notes - Linux

While rolling upgrade after phase 1, cluster is not getting formed (from IS-7.3.1 to IS-8.0) [ 4088900]

Cluster does not form while performing a rolling upgrade from InfoScale 7.3.1 to InfoScale 8.0. The upgraded node fails to join the cluster if HPE disks are present on the setup.

As Infoscale 7.3.1 does not support "libvxhpeapp.so" ASL, the HPE disks are claimed under 'default' ASL where Infoscale 7.3.1 is installed.

While performing the upgrade, one of the nodes get upgraded to 8.0, which supports "libvxhpeapp.so" ASL, so the upgraded node claims HPE disks under "libvxhpeapp.so".

The node which is not upgraded yet that still claims HPE disks under default ASL, which cause the problem of disk-id mismatch and the upgraded node fails to join the cluster.
