Planning the upgrade

Complete the following tasks in advance of upgrading:

• Review the Veritas Storage Foundation Cluster File System Release Notes for any late-breaking information on upgrading your system.
• Be sure that the administrator doing the upgrade has root access and a working knowledge of system administration.
• Schedule sufficient outage time for the upgrade.
• Make sure you have upgraded all the file systems to disk layout Version 6, before you upgrade SFCFS to 5.0. Disk layout Version 7 is the recommended version for SFCFS 5.0.

  See vxupgrade(1M), vxfsconvert(1M), and fsadm(1M).

  See the Veritas File System Administrator's Guide.

  • Verify all the file systems are working fine and data is intact.

    See cfsmount(1M).
