Upgrading CVM protocol and disk group version

To take advantage of the new features in release 5.0, you must upgrade the Veritas Cluster Volume Manager (CVM) protocol version (70), and upgrade to the latest disk group version (140).

 To verify the cluster protocol version

• Verify the cluster protocol version, enter the following command:

  # /opt/VRTS/bin/vxdctl protocolversion

  If the cluster protocol version is less than 70, then it needs to be upgraded to 70 for SF 5.0 for Oracle RAC.

 To upgrade the cluster protocol version

• From the CVM master node run:

  # /opt/VRTS/bin/vxdctl upgrade

 To upgrade the disk group version

• Upgrade the disk group version to 140 by entering the following command on the master node:

  # vxdg -T 140 upgrade <disk_group_name>
