On-disk upgrade concerns – inaccessible swap objects<br />

During an upgrade process, if there are any inaccessible vswp (swap) objects on a<br />

disk, this may prevent a full data migration from a host in the Virtual SAN cluster.<br />

This will prevent an upgrade from v1 to v2 on-disk format.<br />

The vswp file (virtual machine swap) is used for swapping memory to disk for VMs<br />

that have memory resource issues. The ESXi host handles this. In Virtual SAN, a<br />

vswp file is stored as a separate Virtual SAN object.<br />

Due to a known issue in vSphere 5.5, it is possible for Virtual SAN to have done<br />

incomplete deletions of vswp objects. For example, if one of the hosts that contained<br />

a component of the object was (temporarily) down at the time of deletion. In such<br />

cases, the majority of components of the vswp object were deleted/removed, but a<br />

minority of components was left behind on the hosts that were down. When the<br />

host or hosts are brought back online, the minority of the components on those<br />

hosts, which were not deleted, resurfaces. These now present themselves as an<br />

inaccessible object because a minority of components can never gain quorum. Such<br />

objects waste space and cause issues for any operations involving full data<br />

migrations, such as maintenance mode, from these hosts or disks.<br />

This means that administrators will be unable to completely evacuate all of the<br />

components from the disks on a certain host, which will mean you will not be able to<br />

upgrade the on-disk format from v1 to v2. Fortunately, RVC has the tools available<br />

to clean up the stranded objects and complete the full data migration from the disks<br />

that will allow the on-disk upgrade to continue.<br />
