To upgrade Storage Foundation and High Availability

1. Log in as superuser.
2. Unmount any mounted VxFS file systems.

   The installer supports the upgrade of multiple hosts, if each host is running the same version of VxVM and VxFS. Hosts must be upgraded separately if they are running different versions.

   If any VxFS file systems are mounted with the QuickLog feature, QuickLog must be disabled before upgrading. See the "Veritas QuickLog" chapter of the Storage Foundation Administrator's Guide for more information.

3. If you are upgrading Storage Foundation and High Availability, take all service groups offline.

   List all service groups:

   # /opt/VRTSvcs/bin/hagrp -list

   For each service group listed, take it offline:

   # /opt/VRTSvcs/bin/hagrp -offline service_group \
     -sys system_name

4. Enter the following commands on each node to freeze HA service group operations:

   # haconf -makerw 
   # hasys -freeze -persistent nodename 
   # haconf -dump -makero

5. If replication using VVR is configured, verify that all the Primary RLINKs are up-to-date:

   # /usr/sbin/vxrlink -g diskgroup status rlink_name

   Note:

   Do not continue until the Primary RLINKs are up-to-date.

6. Load and mount the disc. If you downloaded the software, navigate to the top level of the download directory.
7. From the disc, run the installer command. If you downloaded the software, run the ./installer command.

   # cd /cdrom/cdrom0
   # ./installer

8. Enter G to upgrade and select the Full Upgrade.
9. You are prompted to enter the system names (in the following example, "sys1") on which the software is to be installed. Enter the system name or names and then press Return.

   Enter the system names separated by spaces on which to
   install SFHA: sys1 sys2

   Depending on your existing configuration, various messages and prompts may appear. Answer the prompts appropriately.

10. The installer asks if you agree with the terms of the End User License Agreement. Press y to agree and continue.
11. The installer lists the filesets to install or to update. You are prompted to confirm that you are ready to upgrade.
12. Stop the product's processes.

    Do you want to stop SFHA processes now? [y,n,q] (y) y

    If you select y, the installer stops the product processes and makes some configuration updates before upgrading.

13. The installer stops, uninstalls, reinstalls, and starts specified filesets.
14. If the upgrade was done from 5.0 or if the Storage Foundation and High Availability was done without vxkeyless keys, the installer shows the following warning:

    CPI WARNING V-9-40-5323 SFHA license version 5.0 is not
    updated to 6.0 on sys1. It's recommended to upgrade to a 6.0 key.
    CPI WARNING V-9-40-5323 SFHA license version 5.0 is not updated
    to 6.0 on sys2. It's recommended to upgrade to a 6.0 key.
    SFHA is licensed on the systems.
    Do you wish to enter additional licenses? [y,n,q,b] (n) n

15. The Storage Foundation and High Availability software is verified and configured.
16. The installer prompts you to provide feedback, and provides the log location for the upgrade.
