Upgrading SFCFS using response files

Typically, you can use the response file that the installer generates after you perform SFCFS upgrade on one cluster to upgrade SFCFS on other clusters. You can also create a response file using the -makeresponsefile option of the installer.

To perform automated SFCFS upgrade

  1. Make sure the systems where you want to upgrade SFCFS meet the upgrade requirements.

  2. Make sure the pre-upgrade tasks are completed.

  3. Copy the response file to one of the cluster systems where you want to upgrade SFCFS.

  4. Edit the values of the response file variables as necessary.

  5. Mount the product disc and navigate to the folder that contains the installation program.

  6. Start the upgrade from the system to which you copied the response file. For example:

    # ./installer -responsefile /tmp/response_file
    # ./installsfcfs -responsefile /tmp/response_file

    Where /tmp/response_file is the response file's full path name.
