How to Verify Upgrade of Sun Cluster Geographic Edition 3.1 2006Q4 Software

Perform this procedure to verify that the cluster is successfully upgraded to Sun Cluster Geographic Edition 3.1 2006Q4 software. On the Solaris 10 OS, perform all steps from the global zone only.

Before You Begin

Ensure that all upgrade procedures are completed for all cluster nodes that you are upgrading.

1. On each node, become root.

2. On each upgraded node, view the installed levels of Sun Cluster Geographic Edition software.

   # geoadm -V

   The first line of output states which version of Sun Cluster Geographic Edition software the node is running. This version should match the version to which you just upgraded.

   ---

   Note –

   The version number that the geoadm -v command returns does not coincide with the marketing release version numbers. The version number for Sun Cluster Geographic Edition 3.1 2006Q4 software should be 1.1.

3. Ensure that the cluster is running properly.

   # geoadm status

4. (Optional) You can also run a switchover to ensure that the Sun Cluster Geographic Edition software was installed properly.

   # geopg switchover

   You must test you geographically separated cluster properly, so that no problems prevent a switchover. Upgrading the secondary cluster first and switching over to it enables you to verify that all still works. If the switchover fails, the primary site is untouched and you can switch back. If all works on the secondary site then after a certain 'soak time' you can upgrade the primary site as well.

   ---

   Caution –

   A switchover might disrupt the services that are running on the cluster. You should carefully plan the required tasks and resources before performing a switchover.

   If you have added your application resource groups back into the protection groups, then performing a switchover shuts down the applications on the original primary cluster and migrates the applications to the secondary cluster.
