To start the rolling upgrade - phase 1

1. Complete the preparatory steps on the first sub-cluster.
2. Perform the required steps to save any data that you wish to preserve. For example, take back-ups of configuration files.
3. Complete updates to the operating system, if required. For instructions, see the operating system documentation.

   The nodes are restarted after the operating system update.

   If you are performing a major OS upgrade (such as Solaris 9 to Solaris 10), do the following:

   • Mount the software disc for the previous version of SFCFSHA.

   • From the top level disc directory, start the installer.

   • Uninstall the SFCFSHA packages.

   • To finish the uninstallation, start the installer again, and install the packages for the previous version of SFCFSHA on the upgraded OS.

     When the installation completes, the CPI prompts you to reboot the nodes again.

   Restart the nodes again manually. Failing to perform this additional reboot prevents the upgrade from proceeding further.

   # shutdown -g0 -y -i6

4. Start the Web-based installer.

   See Starting the Veritas Web-based installer.

5. In the Task pull-down menu, select G) Upgrade a product; then select 2)Rolling Upgrade;.

   Click the Next button to proceed.

6. Review the systems that the installer has chosen to start the rolling upgrade. These systems are chosen to minimize downtime during the upgrade.

   Click Yes to proceed.

   The installer validates systems. If it throws an error, address the error and return to the installer.

7. Review the End User License Agreement (EULA). To continue, select Yes I agree and click Next.
8. The installer stops all processes. Click Next to proceed.
9. The installer removes old software and upgrades the software on the systems that you selected. Review the output and click the Next button when prompted. The installer starts all the relevant processes and brings all the service groups online.

   If the installer reboots nodes, restart the installer.

10. Complete the preparatory steps on the nodes that you have not yet upgraded.
11. Complete updates to the operating system on the nodes that you have not yet upgraded. For instructions, see the operating system documentation.

    The nodes are restarted after the operating system update.

    If you are performing a major OS upgrade (such as Solaris 9 to Solaris 10), do the following:

    • Mount the software disc for the previous version of SFCFSHA.

    • From the top level disc directory, start the installer.

    • Uninstall the SFCFSHA packages.

    • To finish the uninstallation, start the installer again, and install the packages for the previous version of SFCFSHA on the upgraded OS.

      When the installation completes, the CPI prompts you to reboot the nodes again.

    Restart the nodes again manually. Failing to perform this additional reboot prevents the upgrade from proceeding further.

    # shutdown -g0 -y -i6

12. When prompted, perform step 5 through step 9 on the nodes that you have not yet upgraded.
13. When prompted, start phase 2. Click Yes to continue with the rolling upgrade.

    You may need to restart the Web-based installer to perform phase 2.

    See Starting the Veritas Web-based installer.

To upgrade the non-kernel components - phase 2

1. In the Task pull-down menu, make sure that Rolling Upgrade is selected.

   Click the Next button to proceed.

2. The installer detects the information of cluster and the state of rolling upgrade.

   The installer validates systems and stops processes. If it throws an error, address the error and return to the installer.

3. Review the End User License Agreement (EULA). To continue, select Yes I agree and click Next.
4. The installer validates systems. If it throws an error, address the error and return to the installer. Click Next to proceed.
5. The installer stops all processes. Click Next to proceed.
6. The installer removes old software and upgrades the software on the systems that you selected. Review the output and click the Next button when prompted. The installer starts all the relevant processes and brings all the service groups online.
7. If you have network connection to the Internet, the installer checks for updates.

   If updates are discovered, you can apply them now.

8. Upgrade application.
