Upgrading the VCS agents

The installvcs program does not upgrade the VCS agents for DB2, Oracle, and Sybase. If previous versions of these agents are installed on your cluster, you must uninstall the previous version of the agents and manually install the new agent version.

The Symantec Cluster Server product installer includes the VCS agents for DB2, Oracle, and Sybase as a bundled RPM.

To upgrade the VCS agents

  1. Before you install, log in as the superuser. Mount the disc, and copy the files in a temporary folder for installation.
  2. Use following command to install the VCS agents RPM:
    # rpm -ivh VRTSvcsea-6.100.000-GA_dist.arch.rpm

    where dist is the operating system and takes the values RHEL 5, RHEL 6, or SLES 11.

    arch is the architecture. It takes the values i586 or i686 for RHEL5, RHEL 6, and SLES11.

See the agent Installation and Configuration Guide for more information on the agent that you want to upgrade.

See Symantec Cluster Server Release Notes for supported versions of the agents.
