How to Finish Upgrading Cluster Software

This procedure finishes the scinstall(1M) upgrade process begun in How to Upgrade Cluster Software Packages. Perform these steps on each node of the cluster.

1. Become superuser on each node of the cluster.

2. Is your volume manager VxVM?

   • If no, go to Step 3.

   • If yes, install VxVM and any VxVM patches and create the root disk group (rootdg) as you would for a new installation.

     • To install VxVM and encapsulate the root disk, perform the procedures in “How to Install VERITAS Volume Manager Software and Encapsulate the Root Disk” in the Sun Cluster 3.0 12/01 Software Installation Guide. To mirror the root disk, perform the procedures in “How to Mirror the Encapsulated Root Disk” in the Sun Cluster 3.0 12/01 Software Installation Guide.

     • To install VxVM and create rootdg on local, non-root disks, perform the procedures in “How to Install VERITAS Volume Manager Software Only” and in “How to Create a rootdg Disk Group on a Non-Root Disk” in the Sun Cluster 3.0 12/01 Software Installation Guide.

3. Are you upgrading Sun Cluster HA for NFS?

   If yes, go to Step 4.

   If no, go to Step 5.

4. Finish Sun Cluster 3.0 software upgrade and convert Sun Cluster HA for NFS configuration.

   If you are not upgrading Sun Cluster HA for NFS, perform Step 5 instead.

   1. Insert the Sun Cluster 3.0 Agents 5/02 CD-ROM into the CD‐ROM drive on a node.

      This step assumes that the volume daemon vold(1M) is running and configured to manage CD‐ROM devices.

   2. Finish the cluster software upgrade on that node.

      # scinstall ‐u finish ‐q globaldev=DIDname \ -d /cdrom/scdataservices_3_0_u3 -s nfs

      -q globaldev=DIDname

      Specifies the device ID (DID) name of the quorum device

      -d /cdrom/scdataservices_3_0_u3

      Specifies the directory location of the CD‐ROM image

      -s nfs

      Specifies the Sun Cluster HA for NFS data service to configure

      ---

      Note –

      An error message similar to the following might be generated. You can safely ignore it.

      ** Installing Sun Cluster - Highly Available NFS Server ** Skipping "SUNWscnfs" - already installed

      ---

   3. Eject the CD‐ROM.

   4. Repeat Step a through Step c on the other node.

      When completed on both nodes, cluster install mode is disabled and all quorum votes are assigned.

   5. Skip to Step 6.

5. Finish Sun Cluster 3.0 software upgrade on each node.

   If you are upgrading Sun Cluster HA for NFS, perform Step 4 instead.

   # scinstall ‐u finish ‐q globaldev=DIDname

   -q globaldev=DIDname

   Specifies the device ID (DID) name of the quorum device

6. If you are upgrading any data services other than Sun Cluster HA for NFS, configure resources for those data services as you would for a new installation.

   See the Sun Cluster 3.0 12/01 Data Services Installation and Configuration Guide for procedures.

7. If your volume manager is Solstice DiskSuite, from either node bring pre-existing disk device groups online.

   # scswitch ‐z ‐D disk-device-group ‐h node

   -z

   Performs the switch

   -D disk-device-group

   Specifies the name of the disk device group, which for Solstice DiskSuite software is the same as the diskset name

   -h node

   Specifies the name of the cluster node that serves as the primary of the disk device group

8. From either node, bring pre-existing data service resource groups online.

   At this point, Sun Cluster 2.2 logical hosts are converted to Sun Cluster 3.0 5/02 resource groups, and the names of logical hosts are appended with the suffix -lh. For example, a logical host named lhost‐1 is upgraded to a resource group named lhost‐1‐lh. Use these converted resource group names in the following command.

   # scswitch ‐z ‐g resource-group ‐h node

   -g resource-group

   Specifies the name of the resource group to bring online

   You can use the scrgadm -p command to display a list of all resource types and resource groups in the cluster. The scrgadm -pv command displays this list with more detail.

9. If you are using Sun Management Center to monitor your Sun Cluster configuration, install the Sun Cluster module for Sun Management Center.

   1. Ensure that you are using the most recent version of Sun Management Center.

      See your Sun Management Center documentation for installation or upgrade procedures.

   2. Follow guidelines and procedures in “Installation Requirements for Sun Cluster Monitoring” in the Sun Cluster 3.0 12/01 Software Installation Guide to install the Sun Cluster module packages.

10. Verify that all nodes have joined the cluster.

    Go to “How to Verify Cluster Membership” in the Sun Cluster 3.0 12/01 Software Installation Guide.
