Also are you running hosted engine or not? This is the basic plan which can be adjusted based on what your needs are: 1. Update engine from 3.5 to 3.6 (if hosted engine might be trickier, not sure haven't played with hosted engine). 2. Create a new 3.6 cluster. 3. Put 1 host in maintenance (which will migrate the VMs to the other hosts). 4. Remove the host from the DC. 5. Install C7.2 on the host 6. Add that host to the new 3.6 cluster. 7. Optional (you can cross cluster live migrate some VMs from 6 to 7 (just not the other way around, so once the VM is moved its stuck in the new cluster). 8. Go to 3 until all hosts are moved. 9. Your 3.5 cluster should now be empty, and can be removed. 10. Upgrade your DC to 3.6 (Can't upgrade if any lower clusters exist). If you can have downtime, then just shut down the VMs running on the host in step 3 before putting it in maintenance. Once the host is moved to the new cluster you can start the VMs. Alexander
