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:

  1. Log on to the Steward system as a root user.
  2. Stop the Steward process.
    # steward -stop -secure
  3. Upgrade the VRTSvcs and VRTSperl RPMs using:
    # rpm -Uvh
  4. 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:

  1. Log on to the Steward system as a root user.
  2. Stop the Steward process.
    # steward -stop
  3. 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.
  4. Start the Steward process.
    # steward -start

Refer to About the Steward process: Split-brain in two-cluster global clusters in the Cluster Server Administrator's Guide for more information.
