How to Finish a Nonrolling Upgrade to Sun Cluster 3.1 9/04 Software

Perform this procedure to finish Sun Cluster upgrade. First, reregister all resource types that received a new version from the upgrade. Second, modify eligible resources to use the new version of the resource type that the resource uses. Third, re-enable resources. Finally, bring resource groups back online.


Note –

To upgrade future versions of resource types, see “Upgrading a Resource Type” in Sun Cluster Data Service Planning and Administration Guide for Solaris OS.


  1. Ensure that all steps in How to Perform a Nonrolling Upgrade of Sun Cluster 3.1 9/04 Software are completed.

  2. If you upgraded any data services that are not supplied on the Sun Cluster 3.1 9/04 Agents CD-ROM, register the new resource types for those data services.

    Follow the documentation that accompanies the data services.

  3. If you upgraded Sun Cluster HA for SAP liveCache from the version for Sun Cluster 3.0 to the version for Sun Cluster 3.1, modify the /opt/SUNWsclc/livecache/bin/lccluster configuration file.

    In the lccluster file, specify the value of put-Confdir_list-here in the CONFDIR_LIST="put-Confdir_list-here" entry. This entry did not exist in the Sun Cluster 3.0 version of the lccluster file. Follow instructions in “Registering and Configuring the Sun Cluster HA for SAP liveCache” in Sun Cluster Data Service for SAP liveCache Guide for Solaris OS.

  4. If your configuration uses dual-string mediators for Solstice DiskSuite or Solaris Volume Manager software, restore the mediator configurations.

    1. Determine which node has ownership of a disk set to which you will add the mediator hosts.


      # metaset -s setname
      
      -s setname

      Specifies the disk set name

    2. If no node has ownership, take ownership of the disk set.


      # metaset -s setname -t
      
      -t

      Takes ownership of the disk set

    3. Re-create the mediators.


      # metaset -s 	setname -a -m mediator-host-list
      
      -a

      Adds to the disk set

      -m mediator-host-list

      Specifies the names of the nodes to add as mediator hosts for the disk set

    4. Repeat Step a through Step c for each disk set in the cluster that uses mediators.

  5. SPARC: If you upgraded VxVM, upgrade all disk groups.

    To upgrade a disk group to the highest version supported by the VxVM release you installed, run the following command from the primary node of the disk group:


    # vxdg upgrade dgname
    

    See your VxVM administration documentation for more information about upgrading disk groups.

  6. From any node, start the scsetup(1M) utility.


    # scsetup
    

  7. Re-enable all disabled resources.

    1. From the Resource Group Menu, choose Enable/Disable a resource.

    2. Choose a resource to enable and follow the prompts.

    3. Repeat Step b for each disabled resource.

    4. When all resources are re-enabled, type q to return to the Resource Group Menu.

  8. Bring each resource group back online.

    1. From the Resource Group Menu, choose Online/Offline or Switchover a resource group.

    2. Follow the prompts to put each resource group into the managed state and then bring the resource group online.

  9. When all resource groups are back online, exit the scsetup utility.

    Type q to back out of each submenu, or press Ctrl-C.

  10. (Optional) Migrate resources to new resource type versions.

    See “Upgrading a Resource Type” in Sun Cluster Data Services Planning and Administration Guide for Solaris OS, which contains procedures which use the command line. Alternatively, you can perform the same tasks by using the Resource Group menu of the scsetup utility. The process involves performing the following tasks:

    • Register the new resource type.

    • Migrate the eligible resource to the new version of its resource type.

    • Modify the extension properties of the resource type as specified in the manual for the related data service.

  11. If you have a SPARC based system and use Sun Management Center to monitor the cluster, go to SPARC: How to Upgrade Sun Cluster-Module Software for Sun Management Center.

The cluster upgrade is complete.
