Patch Date: December, 2010 OS: Linux OS Version: SLES10 (x86_64) Please read the instructions below for installing the patch. PATCH UPGRADE TO SFSYBASECE 5.0 PR1 P1 on SLES10 (x86_64) =================================================== This README provides information on: * GETTING STARTED * FIXES AND ENHANCEMENTS INCLUDED IN THE PATCH * PACKAGES AFFECTED BY THE PATCH * INSTALLING THE PATCH USING FULL UPGRADE PROCEDURE: * INSTALLING THE PATCH USING PHASED UPGRADE PROCEDURE * UNINSTALLING THE PATCH GETTING STARTED: ---------------- This patch applies only to: VRTSvxfen and VRTSvcssy 5.0 PR1 on SLES10 (x86_64) Ensure that you are running the supported configuration before installing this patch. FIXES AND ENHANCEMENTS INCLUDED IN THE PATCH: -------------------------------------------- Etrack Incidents: 2093659, 2186348 SDR's of Fixed Symantec Incidents: -------------------------------- Symantec Incident : 2093659 Symptom: VCS fails to start due to incorrect fencing mode. Defect Description: VCS fails to recognize the "sybase" fencing mode when the UseFence attribute is set to "SCSI3" in the main.cf file. Resolution: VCS now starts successfully as the fencing driver sends the correct fencing mode. Symantec Incident : 2186348 Enhancement: With Sybase ASE CE version 15.5 ESD #1 onwards, a new timeout option is supported with dataserver shutdown command. This option specifies the maximum amount of time within which the Sybase dataserver ensures stopping of all of its running or sleeping database processes. In the current Sybase agent implementation (without this timeout option), this is achieved using some delays (with sleep command), but under certain situations, this implementation may not cover all the cases where few Sybase specific processes still keep running even after calling out shutdown with wait command for shutting down the database. PACKAGES AFFECTED BY THE PATCH: ------------------------------- This patch updates the following VCS package(s) VRTSvxfen 5.0 (Veritas I/O Fencing by Symantec) VRTSvcssy 5.0 (Veritas High Availability Agent for Sybase by Symantec) INSTALLING THE PATCH USING FULL UPGRADE PROCEDURE: -------------------------------------------------- Run the following steps on all the cluster nodes at the same time: Note: If this is an upgrade of extisting SFSYBASECE cluster, please ignore step 1 and continue from step 2. 1. If this a fresh install of cluster, please install and configure SFSYBASECE 5.0 PR1. Refer to Veritas Storage Foundation Sybase ASE CE Installation and Configuration Guide and follow the instructions till chapter 5 to complete the exercise. 2. Stop the stack up to the fencing level. Stop VCS which will stop CFS and CVM: # /etc/init.d/vcs stop Stop fencing: # /etc/init.d/vxfen stop 3. Upgrade to SFSYBASECE 5.0 PR1 P1 as follows: a. Change to the appropriate directory where patches are present. b. Upgrade VRTSvxfen and VRTSvcssy 5.0 PR1 P1 patches: # rpm -Uvh VRTSvxfen-5.0.30.10-PR1_P1_SLES10.x86_64.rpm # rpm -Uvh VRTSvcssy-5.0.30.10-PR1_P1_SLES10.i586.rpm 4. Verify if the packages have been upgraded # rpm -qa|grep VRTSvxfen You should see output similar to: VRTSvxfen-5.0.30.10-PR1_P1_SLES10 # rpm -qa|grep VRTSvcssy You should see output similar to: VRTSvcssy-5.0.30.10-PR1_P1_SLES10 5. Start fencing and vcs on the node: # /etc/init.d/vxfen start Add UseFence=SCSI3 under cluster servicegroup definition in main.cf, on one of the cluster nodes and then restart VCS on that node first before starting it on the other nodes: # /etc/init.d/vcs start 6. Upgrade the Sybase ASE CE database if required. Refer to Sybase documentation for instructions. INSTALLING THE PATCH USING PHASED UPGRADE PROCEDURE --------------------------------------------------- For phased upgrade, divide the cluster into two subclusters. For e.g. 4 node cluster can have 2 subclusters each with 2 nodes in it. Perform steps 1 to 3 on first subcluster (eg first 2 nodes in 4 node cluster) 1. Stop the stack up to the fencing level. Stop VCS which will stop CFS and CVM: # /etc/init.d/vcs stop Stop fencing: # /etc/init.d/vxfen stop 2. Upgrade to SFSYBASECE 5.0 PR1 P1 as follows: a. Change to the appropriate directory where patches are present. b. Upgrade VRTSvxfen and VRTSvcssy 5.0 PR1 P1 patches: # rpm -Uvh VRTSvxfen-5.0.30.10-PR1_P1_SLES10.x86_64.rpm # rpm -Uvh VRTSvcssy-5.0.30.10-PR1_P1_SLES10.i586.rpm 3. Verify if the packages have been upgraded # rpm -qa|grep VRTSvxfen You should see output similar to: VRTSvxfen-5.0.30.10-PR1_P1_SLES10 # rpm -qa|grep VRTSvcssy You should see output similar to: VRTSvcssy-5.0.30.10-PR1_P1_SLES10 4. Add UseFence=SCSI3 under cluster servicegroup definition in main.cf, on one of the nodes of first subcluster. 5. Now on the second subcluster (eg remaining 2 nodes of the 4 node cluster), perform the following: Stop the stack up to the fencing level. Stop VCS which will stop CFS and CVM: # /etc/init.d/vcs stop Stop fencing: # /etc/init.d/vxfen stop Note: Downtime starts here. Now start fencing and VCS on the node where main.cf is modified in step 4 the first subcluster. # /etc/init.d/vxfen start # /etc/init.d/vcs start Note: Downtime ends here. 6. Start fencing and vcs on the other nodes (other than the one where main.cf was modified as mentioned in step 4) in the first subcluster. # /etc/init.d/vxfen start # /etc/init.d/vcs start 7. Repeat Steps 2, 3 on the second subcluster with the remaining nodes. 8. Start fencing and vcs on all the nodes in the second subcluster # /etc/init.d/vxfen start # /etc/init.d/vcs start 9. Upgrade the Sybase database if required. Please refer to the Sybase documentation for the same. UNINSTALLING THE PATCH: ----------------------- Run the following steps on all the cluster nodes at the same time: 1. Stop the stack up to the fencing level. Stop VCS which will stop CFS and CVM: # /etc/init.d/vcs stop Stop fencing: # /etc/init.d/vxfen stop 2. Remove the patch by the following command: # rpm -e --nodeps VRTSvxfen # rpm -e --nodeps VRTSvcssy 3. Verify that the patch is uninstalled from the node: # rpm -q VRTSvxfen You should see output similar to: package VRTSvxfen is not installed # rpm -q VRTSvcssy You should see output similar to: package VRTSvcssy is not installed 4. Install the previous version of VRTSvxfen and VRTSvcssy packages: # rpm -ivh VRTSvxfen<version> where, <version> is the previous version of VRTSvxfen package, which was installed before applying the patch. # rpm -ivh VRTSvcssy<version> where, <version> is the previous version of VRTSvcssy package, which was installed before applying the patch. 5. Restart fencing and vcs on the node: # /etc/init.d/vxfen start Remove UseFence=SCSI3 from under the cluster servicegroup definition in main.cf, on one of the cluster nodes and then restart VCS on that node first before starting it on the other nodes: # /etc/init.d/vcs start |
