To upgrade Storage Foundation

1. Log in as superuser.
2. Unmount any mounted VxFS file systems.

   The installer supports the upgrade of multiple hosts, if each host is running the same version of VxVM and VxFS. Hosts must be upgraded separately if they are running different versions.

3. If replication using VVR is configured, verify that all the Primary RLINKs are up-to-date:

   # /usr/sbin/vxrlink -g diskgroup status rlink_name

   Note:

   Do not continue until the Primary RLINKs are up-to-date.

4. Load and mount the disc. If you downloaded the software, navigate to the top level of the download directory.
5. From the disc (or if you downloaded the software) , run the installer command.

   # ./installer

6. Enter G to upgrade and select the Full Upgrade.
7. You are prompted to enter the system names (in the following example, "sys1") on which the software is to be upgraded. Enter the system name or names and then press Return.

   Enter the system names separated by spaces: [q,?] sys1 sys2

   Depending on your existing configuration, various messages and prompts may appear. Answer the prompts appropriately.

8. The installer asks if you agree with the terms of the End User License Agreement. Press y to agree and continue.
9. Stop the product's processes.

   Do you want to stop SF processes now? [y,n,q] (y) y

   If you select y, the installer stops the product processes and makes some configuration updates before it upgrades.

10. The installer stops, uninstalls, reinstalls, and starts specified filesets.
11. The Storage Foundation software is verified and configured.
12. The installer prompts you to provide feedback, and provides the log location for the upgrade.
13. Restart the systems if the installer prompts restart to enable DMP native support.
