NSX Host Cluster upgrade

I have a cluster in which have 3 hosts.

I was upgrading from 6.2.2 -> 6.3.2

I clicked on upgrade available option & it was installing the vibs & all the 3 hosts were showing reboot pending.

I rebooted the 1st host & it was upgraded to NSX 6 .3.2

I didn't reboot the remaining 2 hosts & the status is not ready.

What will happen in this scenario. Will there be any issue in the Guest VM communication.

Out of 3, only 1 is upgraded the others are not upgraded

I believe the NSX upgrades to be non-disruptive but I would check the admin guide first.

The cluster Installation Status displays Not Ready. Click Not Ready to display more information. Click Resolve all to attempt to complete the VIB installation.

The hosts are put in maintenance mode, and rebooted if required, to complete the upgrade.

The Installation Status column displays Installing. Once the upgrade is complete the Installation Status column displays a green check mark and the upgraded NSX version.

Take a look at this: Upgrade Host Clusters
