How to Upgrade Data Service Software Packages

Perform this procedure on each cluster node.

1. Become superuser on a node of the cluster.

2. Upgrade applications and apply application patches as needed.

   See your application documentation for installation instructions.

   Note -

   If the applications are stored on shared disks, you must master the relevant disk groups and manually mount the relevant file systems before you upgrade the application.

3. Add data services.

   1. Insert the Sun Cluster 3.0 Agents 12/01 CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive on the node.

   2. Enter the scinstall(1M) utility.

      # scinstall

      Follow these guidelines to use the interactive scinstall utility.

      • Interactive scinstall enables you to type ahead. Therefore, do not press Return more than once if the next menu screen does not appear immediately.

      • Unless otherwise noted, you can press Control-D to return to either the start of a series of related questions or to the Main Menu.

   3. To add data services, type 4 (Add support for a new data service to this cluster node).

      Follow the prompts to add data services.

   4. Eject the CD-ROM.

4. Install any Sun Cluster data service patches.

   See the Sun Cluster 3.0 12/01 Release Notes for the location of patches and installation instructions.

5. Repeat Step 1 through Step 4 on the other node of the cluster.

6. Shut down the second node to be upgraded to Sun Cluster 3.0 12/01 software.

   phys-schost-2# shutdown -g0 -y -i0

   Leave the second node shut down until after the first-installed node is rebooted.

7. Reboot the first-installed node of the cluster.

   Ensure that the second node is shut down before rebooting the first-installed node. Otherwise, the second node will panic because quorum votes are not yet assigned.

   phys-schost-1# shutdown -g0 -y -i6

8. After the first-installed node has completed booting, boot the second node.

   ok boot

9. After both nodes are rebooted, verify from either node that both nodes are cluster members.

   -- Cluster Nodes --                    Node name      Status                    ---------      ------   Cluster node:    phys-schost-1  Online   Cluster node:    phys-schost-2  Online

   See the scstat(1M) man page for more information about displaying cluster status.

10. Assign a quorum device and finish the upgrade.
