Overview of procedures

There are two ways to upgrade cluster nodes to the latest version of Storage Foundation Cluster File System: phased and full.

There are two ways to upgrade cluster nodes to the latest version of Storage Foundation High Availability or Storage Foundation for Oracle High Availability: phased and full.

Note:

If VVR is configured, phased upgrade is not supported. We recommend that the secondary cluster be upgraded before the primary cluster in the RDS.

The upgrade procedures apply to both the phased and full upgrade procedures unless otherwise noted. Occasionally, steps differ between the two procedures. Screen output is also common between both procedures unless otherwise noted.

Note:

Both procedures automatically uninstall the previous version of the software.
