Full upgrade

Following procedure assumes a 4 node cluster system01, system02, system03, system04 where all nodes are simultaneously upgraded from 4.1 to 5.0.

1. Log in as superuser.
2. Insert the appropriate software disc into your system's DVD drive.
3. Determine the block device file for the DVD drive:

   # ioscan -fnC disk

   Make a note of the device file as it applies to your system.

4. Create a directory in which to mount the software disc and mount the disc using the appropriate drive name. For example:

# mkdir -p /dvdrom

# /usr/sbin/mount -F cdfs /dev/dsk/c3t2d0 /dvdrom

5. Change to the top-level directory on the disc:

   # cd /dvdrom

6. Install all the prerequisite patches on all the nodes. See Required HP-UX patches.
7. Offline all SFCFS resources on all nodes by running the following commands on one of the cluster nodes.

   # hagrp -offline service_group -sys system01

   # hagrp -offline service_group -sys system02

   # hagrp -offline service_group -sys system03

   # hagrp -offline service_group -sys system04

where service_group is the command that displays the service groups by hagrp -dep cvm.

8. Install SFCFS 5.0 and reboot all the nodes.

   See Installing the product.

   ---

     Note   Do not configure SFCFS after reboot.

9. Start vxfen on all the nodes. vxfen can be started either in disable or enable mode. For starting vxfen in disabled mode, run the following commands:

   # cat vxfen_mode=disabled > /etc/vxfenmode

   # /sbin/init.d/vxfen start

   See the Veritas Cluster Server Installation Guide for information regarding starting vxfen in enabled mode.

10. Change the configuration files by running the following commands from one of the nodes.

    # /opt/VRTS/bin/hastart

    # /opt/VRTS/bin/haconf -makerw

    # /opt/VRTS/bin/hares -delete qlogckd

    # /opt/VRTS/bin/haconf -dump -makero

    # /opt/VRTS/bin/hastop -all -force

11. If you have configured the VCS Cluster Manager (Web Console), complete step a through step d to modify the /etc/VRTSvcs/conf/config/main.cf file.
    1. Remove VRTSweb:

       Process VRTSweb (

       PathName = "/opt/VRTSvcs/bin/haweb"

       Arguments = "10.129.96.64 8181"

       )

    2. Replace it with:

       VRTSWebApp VCSweb (

       Critical =0

       AppName = vcs

       InstallDir = "/opt/VRTSweb/VERITAS"

       TimeForOnline = 5

       )

    3. Add the NIC resource in the ClusterService group. For example, where the name of the NIC resource is named csgnic and the public NIC device is hme0, add:

       NIC csgnic (

       Device = hme0

    4. Add new dependencies for the new resources in the ClusterService group. For example, using the names of the VRTSWebApp, NotifierMngr, IP, and NIC resources, enter lines that resemble:

       VCSweb requires webip

       ntfr requires csgnic

       webip requires csgnic

12. Verify the syntax of the /etc/VRTSvcs/conf/config/main.cf file by running the following commands on system01:

    # cd /etc/VRTSvcs/conf/config

    # /opt/VRTS/bin/hacf -verify .

13. Run the following command on all the nodes to start VCS.

    # /opt/VRTS/bin/hastart

14. Configure SFCFS on all the nodes. See Configuring the Components.

      Note   VCS configuration files are not changed during this configuration.

15. Upgrade file systems to proper disk layout version as mentioned in Upgrading the disk layout versions.
16. Verify that all the file systems are working properly and data is intact.
