On the cluster you are upgrading or updating, remove the Geographic Edition layer from production. Perform all steps from the global zone only.
Before You Begin
Perform the following tasks:
Ensure that the configuration meets the requirements for the upgrade. See Upgrade and Update Requirements and Software Support Guidelines.
Have available the installation media or the IPS publisher configured, documentation, and software updates for all software products that you are upgrading, including Oracle Solaris OS, Oracle Solaris Cluster software, and Geographic Edition 4.3 software.
Ensure that you have installed all the required software updates for your cluster configuration on each node of the cluster before you start upgrading the software.
If you are installing a software update, ensure that you have read the README file for each software update you will install.
% cluster status
See the cluster(1CL) man page for more information.
Highly available applications do not have downtime during the Geographic Edition software upgrade or update. This step ensures that resource groups are not stopped when you later stop the protection groups.
# geopg remove-resource-group resource-group protection-group
See the geopg(1M) man page for more information.
# geopg stop -e local protection-group
See the geopg(1M) man page for more information.
Stopping the Geographic Edition framework ensures that a software upgrade or update on one cluster does not affect the other cluster in the partnership.
# geoadm stop
See the geoadm(1M) man page for more information.
# /usr/sbin/cacaoadm stop
Next Steps
Upgrade or update the Geographic Edition software on the cluster. Go to How to Upgrade or Update Geographic Edition Software.
