SPARC: Sun Management Center Software Upgrade

This section provides procedures to upgrade the Sun Cluster–module for Sun Management Center software and procedures to upgrade both Sun Management Center software and Sun Cluster–module software.

SPARC: How to Upgrade Sun Cluster-Module Software for Sun Management Center

Perform the following steps to upgrade Sun Cluster-module software on the Sun Management Center server machine, help-server machine, and console machine.

Note –

If you intend to upgrade the Sun Management Center software itself, do not perform this procedure. Instead, go to SPARC: How to Upgrade Sun Management Center Software to upgrade the Sun Management Center software and the Sun Cluster module.

  1. As superuser, remove the existing Sun Cluster–module packages.

    Use the pkgrm(1M) command to remove all Sun Cluster–module packages from all locations that are listed in the following table.


    # pkgrm module-package

    Location 

    Module Package to Remove 

    Sun Management Center console machine 

    SUNWscscn

    Sun Management Center server machine 

    SUNWscssv

    Sun Management Center help-server machine 

    SUNWscshl

    Note –

    Sun Cluster-module software on the cluster nodes was already upgraded during the cluster-framework upgrade.

  2. As superuser, reinstall Sun Cluster–module packages from the Sun Cluster 3.1 9/04 CD-ROM to the locations that are listed in the following table.

    In the CD-ROM path, the value of arch is sparc or x86, and the value of ver is 8 (for Solaris 8) or 9 (for Solaris 9).


    # cd /cdrom/cdrom0/Solaris_arch/Product/sun_cluster/Solaris_ver/Packages/
# pkgadd -d . module-package

    Location 

    Module Package to Install 

    Sun Management Center console machine 

    SUNWscshl

    Sun Management Center server machine 

    SUNWscssv

    Sun Management Center help-server machine 

    SUNWscshl

    Note that you install the help-server package SUNWscshl on both the console machine and the help-server machine. Also, you do not upgrade to a new SUNWscscn package on the console machine.

SPARC: How to Upgrade Sun Management Center Software

Perform the following steps to upgrade from Sun Management Center 2.1.1 to either Sun Management Center 3.0 software or Sun Management Center 3.5 software.

  1. Have available the following items:

    • Sun Cluster 3.1 9/04 CD-ROM or the path to the CD-ROM image.

      You use the CD-ROM to reinstall the Sun Cluster 3.1 9/04 version of the Sun Cluster–module packages after you upgrade Sun Management Center software.

    • Sun Management Center documentation.

    • Sun Management Center patches and Sun Cluster–module patches, if any.

      See “Patches and Required Firmware Levels” in Sun Cluster 3.1 Release Notes for the location of patches and installation instructions.

  2. Stop any Sun Management Center processes.

    1. If the Sun Management Center console is running, exit the console.

      In the console window, choose Exit from the File menu.

    2. On each Sun Management Center agent machine (cluster node), stop the Sun Management Center agent process.


      # /opt/SUNWsymon/sbin/es-stop -a

    3. On the Sun Management Center server machine, stop the Sun Management Center server process.


      # /opt/SUNWsymon/sbin/es-stop -S

  3. As superuser, remove Sun Cluster–module packages.

    Use the pkgrm(1M) command to remove all Sun Cluster–module packages from all locations that are listed in the following table. 


    # pkgrm module-package

    Location 

    Module Package to Remove 

    Each cluster node 

    SUNWscsam, SUNWscsal

    Sun Management Center console machine 

    SUNWscscn

    Sun Management Center server machine 

    SUNWscssv

    Sun Management Center help-server machine 

    SUNWscshl

    If you do not remove the listed packages, the Sun Management Center software upgrade might fail because of package dependency problems. You reinstall these packages in Step 5, after you upgrade Sun Management Center software.

  4. Upgrade the Sun Management Center software.

    Follow the upgrade procedures in your Sun Management Center documentation.

  5. As superuser, reinstall Sun Cluster–module packages from the Sun Cluster 3.1 9/04 CD-ROM to the locations that are listed in the following table.

    In the CD-ROM path, the value of arch is sparc or x86, and the value of ver is 8 (for Solaris 8) or 9 (for Solaris 9).


    # cd /cdrom/cdrom0/Solaris_arch/Product/sun_cluster/Solaris_ver/Packages/
# pkgadd -d . module-package

    Location 

    Module Package to Install 

    Each cluster node 

    SUNWscsam, SUNWscsal

    Sun Management Center server machine 

    SUNWscssv

    Sun Management Center console machine 

    SUNWscshl

    Sun Management Center help-server machine 

    SUNWscshl

    You install the help-server package SUNWscshl on both the console machine and the help-server machine.

  6. Apply any Sun Management Center patches and any Sun Cluster–module patches to each node of the cluster.

  7. Restart Sun Management Center agent, server, and console processes.

    Follow procedures in SPARC: How to Start Sun Management Center.

  8. Load the Sun Cluster module.

    Follow procedures in SPARC: How to Load the Sun Cluster Module.

    If the Sun Cluster module was previously loaded, unload the module and then reload it to clear all cached alarm definitions on the server. To unload the module, choose Unload Module from the Module menu on the console's Details window.
