When upgrading from version 10.1 or later or when patching, if the automatic failover in case of a primary database service failure is enabled, change the failover mode to Manual during the upgrade. After the upgrade, you can set the failover mode to Automatic. See Automatic Failover of the VMware Cloud Director Appliance.

Log in to the vCenter Server instance on which resides the primary VMware Cloud Director appliance of your database high availability cluster.

Navigate to the primary VMware Cloud Director appliance, right-click it, and click Power > Shut Down Guest OS.

Right-click the appliance and click Snapshots > Take Snapshot. Enter a name and, optionally, a description for the snapshot, and click OK.

Right-click the VMware Cloud Director appliance and click Power > Power On.

Wait, is changing failover really necessary? Sounds odd.

Definitely just the primary snapshot, right?

I thought we needed to change the database failover too?

I thought we had to change the failover setting, but I can't remember if it should be Manual or Automatic for the upgrade.

I'm pretty sure we need to take a snapshot of the primary appliance, but I'm not confident about the second step.

I think we practiced a similar question, and I feel like changing the database failover setting was mentioned as a necessary step.

I remember we discussed the importance of taking snapshots, but I can't recall if it's just the primary appliance or the whole cluster.
