Shani,
1. I created a new 4.5 cluster with the same CPU (Secure Intel Cascadelake
Server Family) and platform type (Q35/BIOS).
2. All 3 hosts are 8.3, but report 4.4 compatibility.
3. The only reason I attempted to upgrade the cluster was simple: The
cluster state kept on dropping down to "unavailable" (even though all 3
hosts are up) and I was offered to upgrade the cluster to v4.5.

Hi Gilboa,
Here are some guidelines/checks:
- Are you able to create a 4.5 DC/cluster?
- Host can be Up in the 4.5 clusters only when it reports 4.5 level
compatibility (it's based on RHEL 8.3).
Can you make sure that on all 3 hosts?
- You can upgrade the 4.4 clusters to 4.5 only when all Up/NonOperational
hosts are reporting 4.5 level
- You can upgrade 4.4 DC to 4.5 only when all clusters inside are on the
4.5 level
- A 4.5 host-based on RHEL 8.3 should be fully functional in 4.2/4.3/4.4
clusters
