how is a cluster upgraded?

Hi all,

What are the expected steps for upgrading a v2 cluster to v3? For a
single instance, it's simple:

1) v2 installation exists
2) install v3
3) copy domain from v2 to v3
4) start v3 with --upgrade option (the asupgrade tool does steps 3 and
4 if you use it)

For a cluster, what happens after step 2 above? Would the user create
the v3 cluster first and then bring in the new domain config, or
should step 4 above also create the cluster when it sees >0 clusters
present in the domain config?

Thanks,
Bobby
