If you are installing or upgrading Veritas Storage Foundation for DB2 or Veritas Storage Foundation for Oracle, you need to either create a new repository database or migrate your old repository database to the new one. To use the db2ed_update
or dbed_update
command, you must be the instance owner or database administrator.
Note This does not apply to Veritas Storage Foundation for Sybase.
To upgrade your repository database
If you are upgrading Veritas Storage Foundation for DB2 in a single-host environment, run the db2ed_update
command.
If you are upgrading Veritas Storage Foundation for DB2 in a high availability (HA) environment, run the db2ed_update
command with the -G
option.
# /opt/VRTS/bin/db2ed_update -D DB2DATABASE -G
service_group
If you are upgrading Veritas Storage Foundation for Oracle in a single-host environment, run the dbed_update
command.
# /opt/VRTS/bin/dbed_update -S $ORACLE_SID -H $ORACLE_HOME
If you are upgrading Veritas Storage Foundation for Oracle in a high availability (HA) environment, run the dbed_update
command with the -G
option.
# /opt/VRTS/bin/dbed_update -S $ORACLE_SID -H $ORACLE_HOME
\
After the upgrade, the old repository database will be marked with a hidden file name, such as /etc/vx/vxdba/.upgrade_to_5.0, to prevent further updates. If you need to perform an additional upgrade, the file must be removed.
