How to Upgrade Sun Management Center Software

1. Have available the following items:

   • Sun Java Enterprise System 2004Q2 2 of 2 CD-ROM or the path to the CD-ROM image. You use the CD-ROM to reinstall the Sun Cluster 3.1 4/04 version of the Sun Cluster–module packages after you upgrade Sun Management Center software.

   • Sun Management Center documentation.

   • Sun Management Center patches and Sun Cluster–module patches, if any.

     See “Patches and Required Firmware Levels” in Sun Cluster 3.1 Release Notes for the location of patches and installation instructions.

2. Stop any Sun Management Center processes.

   1. If the Sun Management Center console is running, exit the console.

      In the console window, choose File⇒Exit from the menu bar.

   2. On each Sun Management Center agent machine (cluster node), stop the Sun Management Center agent process.

      # /opt/SUNWsymon/sbin/es-stop -a

   3. On the Sun Management Center server machine, stop the Sun Management Center server process.

      # /opt/SUNWsymon/sbin/es-stop -S

3. As superuser, remove Sun Cluster–module packages.

   Use the pkgrm(1M) command to remove all Sun Cluster–module packages from all locations listed in the following table.

   # pkgrm module-package

   Location	Module Package to Remove
   Each cluster node	SUNWscsam, SUNWscsal
   Sun Management Center console machine	SUNWscscn
   Sun Management Center server machine	SUNWscssv
   Sun Management Center help-server machine	SUNWscshl

   If you do not remove the listed packages, the Sun Management Center software upgrade might fail because of package dependency problems. You reinstall these packages in Step 5, after you upgrade Sun Management Center software.

4. Upgrade the Sun Management Center software.

   Follow the upgrade procedures in your Sun Management Center documentation.

5. As superuser, reinstall Sun Cluster–module packages from the Sun Java Enterprise System 2004Q2 2 of 2 CD-ROM to the locations listed in the table below.

   In the CD-ROM path, the value of ver is 8 (for Solaris 8) or 9 (for Solaris 9)

   # cd Solaris_sparc/Product/sun_cluster/Solaris_ver/Packages/ # pkgadd -d . module-package

   Location	Module Package to Install
   Each cluster node	SUNWscsam, SUNWscsal
   Sun Management Center server machine	SUNWscssv
   Sun Management Center console machine	SUNWscshl
   Sun Management Center help-server machine	SUNWscshl

   You install the help-server package SUNWscshl on both the console machine and the help-server machine.

6. Apply any Sun Management Center patches and any Sun Cluster–module patches to each node of the cluster.

7. Restart Sun Management Center agent, server, and console processes.

   Follow procedures in SPARC: How to Start Sun Management Center.

8. Load the Sun Cluster module.

   Follow procedures in SPARC: How to Load the Sun Cluster Module.

   If the Sun Cluster module was previously loaded, unload the module and then reload it to clear all cached alarm definitions on the server. To unload the module, choose Module⇒Unload Module from the console's Details window.
