Upgrade splitter and JIRAF for entire ESX cluster

Perform the following procedure to upgrade splitter and JIRAF on all ESXi hosts in an ESX cluster.

Ensure you have completed the procedure to Upgrade a vRPA cluster.
To maintain uninterrupted replication throughout the upgrade of splitter and JIRAFs, ensure that at least two ESXi hosts in the ESX cluster has a splitter that is installed.
The ESX cluster must contain at least two ESXi hosts that are not already in maintenance mode before running the upgrade procedure.
Ensure that DRS is enabled in automatic mode.

Use an SSH client to log in to the vRPA as the admin user.
From the Main menu, select Setup > Advanced options > Splitter actions > Upgrade Splitter.
Enter the requested information: vCenter Server IP address and TCP port number (if other than the default, 443), and the vCenter credentials.
Let the system provide the vCenter certificate automatically and, if the certificate is correct, approve the certificate.
Select the ESX cluster on which to upgrade the splitter and JIRAFs .
The splitter and JIRAF version that is currently installed on each of the ESXi hosts is listed, along with the splitter and JIRAF version that the upgrade installs.
Type y to begin the upgrade.
Each ESXi host enters maintenance mode, in turn, as its splitter and JIRAF are upgraded. The table of splitter and JIRAF versions is updated as the upgrade progresses.
