Upgrading XtraDB cluster is not a trivial matter, the best and safest way to do it is to shutdown the server just like you do it for standard mysql, /etc/init.d/mysql stop. Then update/upgrade the server using your update tool [apt/yum/yast]. After the update you can then start mysql with /etc/init.d/mysql start. It is advisable though to shutdown nodes one at a time.

[Percona XtraDB Cluster 5.5.34-23.7.6](http://www.mysqlperformanceblog.com/2013/11/04/percona-xtradb-cluster-5-5-34-23-7-6-now-available/) has just been released by the way.
