See Supported configurations for details on each of the source to target configurations.
Standalone to cluster configurations do not support failover.
When using a supported upgrade configuration, you can perform a rolling upgrade where you update the target server first. After the upgrade is complete, the source will automatically reconnect to the target. Upgrade the source when convenient. For an upgrade configuration that is not supported, you will have to delete the existing connection before the upgrade and create a new job after the upgrade.
