Upgrading remaining nodes (phased only)

 To upgrade remaining nodes

1. Log in as superuser.
2. Insert the appropriate media disc into your system's CD-ROM drive.
3. Change to the storage_foundation_cluster_file_system directory:

   # cd /cdrom/storage_foundation_cluster_file_system

4. Install SFCFS on the remaining nodes. Type:

   # ./installsfcfs system03 system04

   When upgrading the remaining nodes, you may be prompted that Cluster Server should have been running during the initial upgrade.

5. Press y to continue and follow all the prompts.
6. Remove the disabled VCS startup script on each of the upgraded nodes. Type:

   # rm /etc/rc3.d/XXXS99vcs

7. Reboot the recently upgraded nodes. Type:

   # reboot

   Following the reboot, VCS configuration files are automatically updated to match the files of the first group of upgraded nodes.

8. Log in as superuser.
9. Insert the appropriate media disc into your system's CD-ROM drive.
10. If volume management software is running on your system, the software disc automatically mounts as /cdrom.

    If volume management software is not available to mount the CD-ROM, you must mount it manually, enter:

    # mount -F hsfs -o ro /dev/dsk/c0t6d0s2 /cdrom

    where c#t#d# is the location of the CD drive.

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

    # cd /cdrom

12. Run installsfcfs from any node in the cluster:

    # ./installsfcfs -configure system03 system04

13. Check cluster status. Type:

    # hastatus -summary

14. If you are configuring SFCFS for a fenced environment.

    See the Veritas Cluster Server Administrator's Guide.

    See the Veritas Storage Foundation Cluster File System Administrator's Guide.

15. Verify the cluster protocol version, enter the following command that displays the same on a running node:

    # /opt/VRTS/bin/vxdctl protocolversion

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

    ---

      Note   The cluster protocol version can only be updated on the master node.

    ---

    One can upgrade the entire cluster using the following command on the master node.

    # /opt/VRTS/bin/vxdctl upgrade

16. Type the following command on one upgraded node to enable membership:

    # gabconfig -xc
