Synchronizing Upgrades Across a Data Storage Fleet

A system comprising:

• a memory storing instructions;
• and
• one or more processors communicatively coupled to the memory and configured to execute the instructions to perform a process comprising:
• receiving a request for an upgrade of one or more components of each storage system of a plurality of storage systems of a storage fleet, the upgrade comprising a plurality of steps and a plurality of checkpoints;
• coordinating, based on the request for the upgrade, a performing of a step of the plurality of steps of the upgrade across the plurality of storage systems of the storage fleet;
• determining, based on the performing of the step, at a checkpoint of the plurality of checkpoints, an outcome of the step across the plurality of storage systems of the storage fleet;
• and
• performing, based on the outcome of the step of the plurality of steps, a next action associated with the upgrade for the storage fleet.

A computer program product embodied in a non-transitory computer readable storage medium and comprising computer instructions for:

• receiving a request for an upgrade of one or more components of each storage system of a plurality of storage systems of a storage fleet, the upgrade comprising a plurality of steps and a plurality of checkpoints;
• coordinating, based on the request for the upgrade, a performing of a step of the plurality of steps of the upgrade across the plurality of storage systems of the storage fleet;
• determining, based on the performing of the step, at a checkpoint of the plurality of checkpoints, an outcome of the step across the plurality of storage systems of the storage fleet;
• and
• performing, based on the outcome of the step of the plurality of steps, a next action associated with the upgrade for the storage fleet.
