Sun Cluster 3.0 Installation Guide

How to Shut Down the Cluster

Before upgrading the software, take the cluster out of production.

  1. Have available the CD-ROMs, documentation, and patches for all the software products you are upgrading.

    • Solaris 8 operating environment

    • Solstice DiskSuite software or VERITAS Volume Manager

    • Sun Cluster 3.0 framework

    • Sun Cluster 3.0 data services

    • Third-party applications

    Solstice DiskSuite software and documentation are now part of the Solaris 8 product.

    Note -

    These procedures assume you are installing from CD-ROMs. If you are installing from a network, ensure that the CD-ROM image for each software product is loaded on the network.

    Refer to Sun Cluster 3.0 Release Notes for the location of patches and installation instructions.

  2. Notify users that the cluster will be down.

  3. Become superuser on each node of the cluster.

  4. Search the /var/adm/messages log for unresolved error or warning messages.

    Correct any problems.

  5. Verify that no logical hosts are in the maintenance state.

    1. Become superuser on a node of the cluster.

    2. Use the hastat(1M) command to display the status of the cluster.


      # hastat
HIGH AVAILABILITY CONFIGURATION AND STATUS
-------------------------------------------
...
LOGICAL HOSTS IN MAINTENANCE STATE

      If the screen output displays NONE, no logical hosts are in the maintenance state. Proceed to Step 6.

    3. If a logical host is in the maintenance state, use the haswitch(1M) command to perform switchover.


      # haswitch hostname logicalhostname
      hostname

      Specifies the name of the node that is to own the logical host

      logicalhostname

      Specifies the name of the logical host

    4. Run the hastat command to verify the switchover completed successfully.

  6. Ensure that the size of each logical host administrative file system is at least 10 Mbytes.


    # df -k /logicalhostname

    A logical host administrative file system that is not the required minimum size of 10 Mbytes will not be mountable after upgrade to Sun Cluster 3.0. If a logical host administrative file system is smaller than 10 Mbytes, follow your volume manager documentation procedure for growing this file system.

  7. Back up your system.

    Ensure that all users are logged off the system before you back it up.

  8. Stop the Sun Cluster 2.2 software on each node of the cluster.


    # scadmin stopnode

  9. Run the hastat command to verify that no nodes are in the cluster.

Where to Go From Here

If your cluster uses VERITAS Volume Manager, go to "How to Uninstall VERITAS Volume Manager Software". If your cluster uses Solstice DiskSuite software, to upgrade or prepare the Solaris operating environment to support Sun Cluster 3.0 software, go to "How to Upgrade the Solaris Operating Environment".
