Upgrading the Steward process
The Steward process can be configured in both secure and non-secure mode. The following procedures provide the steps to upgrade the Steward process.
Upgrading Steward configured in secure mode to 7.0
To upgrade Steward configured in secure mode:
- Log on to the Steward system as a root user.
- Stop the Steward process.
# steward -stop -secure
- Upgrade the VRTSvcs and VRTSperl RPMs using:
# rpm -Uvh
- Start the Steward process.
# steward -start -secure
Upgrading Steward configured in non-secure mode to 7.0
To upgrade Steward configured in non-secure mode:
- Log on to the Steward system as a root user.
- Stop the Steward process.
# steward -stop
- Copy and replace the Steward binary from a node in the VCS cluster to the Steward system. The file resides in the
/opt/VRTSvcs/bin/
directory. Make sure that the source from where you copy the binary is also running the same version of Linux as the destination system.
- Start the Steward process.
# steward -start
