Abstract
Aspects of data management are described. During an update procedure for serially updating a cluster of storage nodes, a storage node of the cluster of storage nodes may enter a quiescent state. While in the quiescent state, the storage node may refrain from obtaining new jobs and may continue to execute jobs that were initiated at the storage node prior to entering the quiescent state. The storage node may enter the quiescent state while another storage node enters an update state for installing the update version. The storage node may also post, to a job queue, jobs running at the storage node that are terminated at an end of the quiescent state.
