Directly upgrading from SCS 1.2 to SCS 1.3 is not supported, but this limitation is removed starting with SCS 1.4. Swarm supports upgrading from SCS 1.1, 1.2, or 1.3 to SCS 1.4 and booting from Storage bundle v15.0 with multicast disabled.

Upgrade Notes
Any version before SCS 1.4 cannot boot versions of Swarm storage that include the optional multicast feature (version 15.0 and later). This is due to changes required in SCS to properly support this feature.
Complete the SCS upgrade first if upgrading both SCS and Swarm Storage simultaneously. Then add the new Swarm Storage component to the SCS repo (using
scsctl repo component add ...). During this process,scsctlwill prompt as to whether or not to enable multicast for the storage cluster by asking to set a value forcip.multicastEnabled. SelectTrueto enable the use of multicast (this matches the behavior of prior versions of Swarm), orFalseto disable it. If you are unsure which to choose, contact DataCore Support.Installing a new Swarm Storage component version does not automatically activate the version for PXE booting; the new version must be explicitly activated. Run the below command and choose the new version to activate:
Code Block scsctl storage software activate
