Upgrade vSAN on-disk format versions

[Optional] Upgrade the vSAN on-disk format version to take advantage of features that are available only in the later versions.
  • ESXi and vCenter Upgrades are completed
  • Verify that the disks are in a healthy state. Navigate to the Disk Management page to verify the object status.
  • Verify that your hosts are not in maintenance mode. When upgrading the disk format, do not place the hosts in maintenance mode.
  • Verify that there are no component rebuilding tasks currently in progress in the vSAN cluster. For information about vSAN resynchronization, see vSphere Monitoring and Performance
  • The upgrade may cause temporary resynchronization traffic and use additional space by moving data or rebuilding object components to a new data structure.
