To upgrade SFHA

1. Perform the required steps to save any data that you want to preserve. For example, make configuration file backups.
2. If you want to upgrade a high availability (HA) product, take all service groups offline. List all service groups:

   # /opt/VRTSvcs/bin/hagrp -list

   For each service group listed, take it offline:

   # /opt/VRTSvcs/bin/hagrp -offline service_group -any

3. Start the web-based installer.

   See Starting the web-based installer.

4. Indicate the systems on which to upgrade. Enter one or more system names, separated by spaces. Click Next.
5. Installer detects the product that is installed on the specified system. It shows the cluster information and lets you confirm if you want to perform upgrade on the cluster. Select Yes and click Next.
6. The installer discovers if any of the systems that you want to upgrade have mirrored and encapsulated boot disks. For each system that has a mirrored boot disk, you have the option to create a backup of the book disk group. To create the backup, check the Split mirrors on all the systems box. Check the appropriate box to use the same name for the backup disk group on all systems. You can use the default name or choose a new one. Check the systems where you want to create the backup. When you are ready, click the Next button.
7. Click Next to complete the upgrade.

   After the upgrade completes, the installer displays the location of the log and summary files. If required, view the files to confirm the installation status.

8. If you are prompted to restart the systems, enter the following restart command:

   # /sbin/shutdown -r now

9. After the upgrade, if the product is not configured, the web-based installer asks: "Do you want to configure this product?" If the product is already configured, it does not ask any questions.
10. If you want to upgrade CP server systems that use VCS or SFHA to 6.1, make sure that you upgrade VCS or SFHA on the CP server systems. Then, upgrade all application clusters to version 6.1. For instructions to upgrade VCS or SFHA, see the VCS or SFHA Installation Guide.
11. Only perform this step if you have split the mirrored root disk to back it up. After a successful restart, verify the upgrade and re-join the backup disk group into the upgraded boot disk group. If the upgrade fails, revert the upgrade boot disk group to the backup disk group.

    See Re-joining the backup boot disk group into the current disk group.
