I wold like to upgrade a cluster of 3 nodes running proxmox 2.x (originally this was a 1.x cluster).

I cannot stop all running vm (openvz and kvm) for the time necessary to upgrade the cluster.

Can I upgrade one node at a time?
What issues might arise when running during the upgrade process, when there will be a mixed environment of 2.x and 3.x nodes?

I did another upgrade (non critical) on a two node cluster, where I shut down all containers (no kvm there) and I seem to remember that the 2.x and 3.x nodes were seeing each other, altough I did not try any operations on both until the upgrade was finished.

Thank you.
 
I went forward and tried to upgrade a single 2.3 node to 3.1. The new node seems to be recognized properly by the other cluster members and migration (not live) is taking place.

My guess is that it will "kind of work".
