A rollback can be performed after completing an upgrade to components of a virtualized computing environment. When the upgrade is performed, an upgrade bundle having rollback scripts is provided to edges, hosts, and managers in the virtualized computing environment that are to be upgraded. When a rollback is to be performed, the rollback scripts are executed, and the components are rolled back in a reverse order relative to their upgrade order. Data and configuration checking are performed to validate the results of the rollback.

Automated rollback in virtualized computing environments

Example methods and systems to perform distributed upgrade of a component of a data plane are disclosed. One method may include collecting information associated with all the components, preparing a upgrade plan by associating a first set of tasks of the upgrade plan with a first manager and a second set of tasks of the upgrade plan with a second manager based on the collected information, and distributing the first set of tasks to a first upgrade coordinator of the first manager and the second set of tasks to a second upgrade coordinator of the second manager.

Distributed upgrade in virtualized computing environments

Example methods and systems to perform distributed upgrade of a component in a virtualized computing environment are disclosed. One method may include processing an upgrade bundle and querying a status file saved on the component to obtain an upgrade progress of the component. In response to a first task identifier indicating a completion of a first task associated with a first upgrade step, the method may include performing a second task and recording a second task identifier of the second task to indicate the completion or failure of the second task in the status file. In response to the first task identifier indicating a failure of the first task, the method may include performing the first task and updating the first task identifier to indicate the completion or failure of the first task in the status file.
