Need to disable HA before upgrade.

For clvmd, I really don't known what is the impact, as I don't use it.

Yes, I don't say it's easy, but the only other way currently, if we want no interruption (for qemu of course),
and be able to do live migration is :

1) keep a node empty without any vm
2) upgrade all hosts in the cluster to jessie  + proxmox 4.0 (in place, with vms running during the upgrade)
3) reboot the empty node 
4) migrate all vm  from 1 node to the empty node
5) reboot the new empty node
  ...
  ..



Another way, could be to build a new cluster, 
and be allowed to do live migration between clusters.
(Need a little work, but technically it's possible).
Only with special command line, not exposed in gui.

You need to update at least 3 packages for that: 

- libqb 
- corosync 
- pve-cluster 

and that update will have bad side effects for all other cluster related 
packages 

- redhat-cluster-pve 
- openais 
- clvmd 
- anything else? 

This looks really complex to me?
