Hello,
we're planning an upgrade of an old 4.0 setup to 4.2, going through 4.1.
What we found out is that when upgrading from major to major, cluster
and datacenter compatibility upgrade has to be done at the end of the
upgrade.
This means that we also require to restart our VMs for adapting the
compatibility level.
Do we require to upgrade the compatibility level to 4.1 before
starting the upgrade to 4.2?
We have more than 400 vms and only few of them can be restarted at our
convenience.

Perfect, thank you for the confirmation.
To change the compatibility level of DC, i've seen that all clusters
require has to be upgraded.
Does the upgrade of the DC requires the restart of all the VMs to have
the cluster completely upgraded or restarting the VMs is an activity
indipendent from this?

You won't have to restart the running VMs.
You'll see that VMs that were running at the time of the cluster upgrade
are set with custom-compatibility-version that matches the previous
compatibilty-level of the cluster. So obviously, VM-specific features that
were added in 4.2 won't be applicable to those VMs until they are restarted
(and then their custom-compatibility version is cleared so their effective
compability-level would change to 4.2).
But even when some VMs are set with custom-compatibility-version, the
cluster is upgraded and so it should be possible to upgrade the DC.

Fantastic. Thanks for the explanation. I like to have a better knowledge of
what happens behind the scenes, because helps me to solve problems when
they appear.
