Upgrades of multiple replicated clusters can be complicated. Here is an
example.
![Upgrading multiple replicated clusters](/img/vault-replication-upgrade.png)
In the above scenario, the ideal upgrade procedure would be as follows,
verifying functionality after each cluster upgrade.
1. Upgrade Clusters B and D, using the HA upgrade process above. These clusters
have no downstream clusters, so they should be upgraded first, but the
ordering of B vs D does not matter.
2. Upgrade Cluster C, which now has an upgraded downstream cluster (Cluster D).
Because Cluster C is a cluster, it should also use the HA upgrade process.
3. Finally, upgrade Cluster A. All clusters downstream of A will already be
upgraded. It should be upgraded last, as it is a Performance Primary and a DR
Primary.
