N1 Service Provisioning System 4.1 Installation Guide

Upgrading Solaris OS and Red Hat Master Servers

The Master Server application is not upgraded like most software is upgraded. Rather, the new version of the Master Server is installed on the same system as the previous version of the Master Server. Then, the data is migrated from the previous version of the Master Server to the new version of the Master Server.

ProcedureHow to Migrate Data on a Solaris OS or a Red Hat Master Server

Migrating data from the 4.0 version of the Master Server to the 4.1 version of the Master Server deletes any data in the 4.1 version of the Master Server. The migration script stops both versions of the Master Server until the script completes the migration. The Master Servers will be unavailable for the duration of the migration.

Before You Begin

Follow the instructions in How to Install the N1 Service Provisioning System 4.1 on Solaris OS, Red Hat Linux, and IBM AIX Systems to install the N1 Service Provisioning System 4.1 Master Server on the system where the 4.0 version of the Master Server is installed. Both the 4.0 and the 4.1 versions of the Master Server must be installed on the same system before you begin the migration procedure.

To back up your data before you migrate, follow the instructions in How to Back Up a Master Server.

Steps

  1. Verify that the database will not optimize during the migration process.

    Check that you do not have any cron jobs scheduled that would start a database optimization while you are migrating the data.

  2. Log in as the user that owns the Master Server directories.

  3. Start the migration script.


    # /N1SPS4.1-home/server/bin/migrate/cr_4.0.2-4.1_migration.sh

    N1SPS4.1-home is the directory where you installed the application. The default directory is /opt/SUNWn1sps/N1_Service_Provisioning_System_4.1.

  4. Follow the instructions on the screen to complete the migration.

    When the migration is complete, the following message appears.


    Master Server migration completed successfully.
    Note –

    The listener port numbers for the Postgres database, Web Interface, and the Master Server are not migrated. The N1 Service Provisioning System 4.1 Master Server uses the port numbers that you supplied during installation.

  5. Check the log file for any errors that may have occurred during migration.

    The migration script displays the location of the log file.

  6. Back up the data that you migrated to the new Master Server by using the instructions in How to Back Up a Master Server.

    You cannot restore data from the 4.0 Master Server to the 4.1 Master Server. Back up the data on the 4.1 Master Server so that you have a complete and accurate backup of the data to use if necessary.
