Hi,
I don't think it is possible to upgrade SG on a live cluster.

You need to plan it when it will be possible for you to stop your instances

The rolling upgrade process is in the manuals.

You do have to move packages, so the applications will stop temporarily (halt package on one node and start package on another node.

No. It will not change the files & you will not have to. But backup, as you should for every upgrade.
