Analytics-based optimized maintenance operations for a hyper-converged infrastructure are described. An example includes instructions to establish an order for a sequence of maintenance operations including collecting data points that relate to high availability of multiple nodes in a storage infrastructure; performing analysis of the collected data, including discovery of groups of nodes that don't have mutual relations with other paired nodes; receiving a request to perform a maintenance operation for the plurality of nodes; generating an ordered sequence of groups of nodes for the maintenance operation based at least in part on the analysis of the collected data, each group including one or more nodes; and performing the maintenance operation for the plurality of nodes according to the sequence of groups of nodes, wherein the maintenance operation includes a power cycle for each of the plurality of nodes.

Maintenance operations based on analysis of collected data

The disclosure provides for systems and methods for performing upgrades in virtual environments. Some implementations are directed to using an upgrade service to provide pre-upgrade component detection and validation on host(s). A software package may be submitted to an existing software upgrade procedure of a host. The software package may include an upgrade executable that, when launched, provides a new software service, including initializing one or more new public-facing APIs to provide pre-upgrade host component detection and validation. Some implementations are directed to coordinating the upgrade of a first host using an upgrade service launched on another networked machine or second host. While running an upgrade service, the first host may make a request to the second host to coordinate the upgrade of components of the first host while the first host or a VM of the first host running the upgrade service is shut down.
