Steps when upgrading AppFabric:
- Do one server at a time.
- Run Script above on the server before you install the CU. At the moment, CU7 is the latest.
- I wait 15min, not sure how long it takes to transfer everything to the other server.
- Run the CU.
- Edit DistributedCacheserver.exe for Garbage collection feature.
- Start AppFabric on Central Admin
It is best practice to do it on all the servers running SharePoint if you decide to move app fabric around in the future.
