The product installer can repair an existing installation of the SFW and SFW HA client and server components.
The
option restores the installation to its original state. This option fixes missing or corrupt files, shortcuts, and registry entries on the local system.You can repair the installation only on the local system.
Note: |
Before you proceed to repair the installation, you must save your configuration to another system and failover the service groups for your applications to another node. |
To repair the installation
If you have installed the client components, select Veritas Storage Foundation HA 6.1 for Windows (Client Components).
In case the verification checks have failed, review the details and rectify the issue. Before you choose to proceed with the installation, click Re-verify to re-initiate the verification checks.
Note that if you are repairing the server installation, the Automatically reboot systems after installer completes operation check box is selected by default. This will reboot the node immediately after the repair operation is complete. If you do not want the wizard to initiate this auto reboot, clear the selection of Automatically reboot systems after installer completes operation check box.
The wizard stops the product-specific services and discovers the processes running, if any, on the systems. These processes need to be stopped to proceed with the operation. Click Next to forcefully stop the processes and proceed with the operation. Alternatively, you can manually stop the processes.
If the services or processes cannot be stopped, the operation fails. Rectify the error and then click Retry to validate the affected system again. Click Retry All to validate all the systems again.
In case you had not selected to initiate the auto reboot, ensure that you manually reboot the node.
