Upgrading the Geographic Edition Software

This chapter describes how to upgrade Geographic Edition software on a pair of clusters. You can upgrade an installation of Geographic Edition software by uninstalling the existing version of Geographic Edition software and installing the upgraded version of the software.

You can upgrade Geographic Edition software on a running cluster without disruption. Because the Geographic Edition software installation process does not require you to restart the Oracle Solaris Cluster software, the cluster remains in production with services running. Geographic Edition software configuration data is retained across the upgrade process. Highly available applications do not have downtime during Geographic Edition software upgrade.
