Sun Cluster 3.1 Software Installation Guide

How to Finish Upgrading Cluster Software

Perform these steps after you have upgraded software on each node of the cluster and all nodes are booted into the cluster.

  1. Did you upgrade VxVM?

    • If no, go to Step 2.

    • If yes, upgrade all disk groups.

      To upgrade a disk group to the highest version supported by the VxVM release you installed, run the following command from the primary node of the disk group:


      # vxdg upgrade dgname

      See your VxVM administration documentation for more information about upgrading disk groups.

  2. Are you using Sun Management Center to monitor your Sun Cluster configuration?

    • If yes, install the Sun Cluster 3.1 module packages for Sun Management Center on the server machine and help server machine.

    1. Ensure that all Sun Management Center core packages are installed on the appropriate machines.

      This step includes installing Sun Management Center agent packages on each cluster node. See your Sun Management Center documentation for installation instructions.

    2. Become superuser on the Sun Management Center server machine

    3. Insert the Sun Cluster 3.1 CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive.

    4. Change to the /cdrom/suncluster_3_1/SunCluster_3.1/Sol_ver/Packages directory, where ver is 8 (for Solaris 8) or 9 (for Solaris 9) .

      The following example uses the path to the Solaris 8 version of Sun Cluster software.


      # cd /cdrom/suncluster_3_1/SunCluster_3.1/Sol_8/Packages

    5. Install the Sun Cluster module server package SUNWscssv.


      # pkgadd -d . SUNWscssv

    6. Change to the CD-ROM root directory and eject the CD-ROM.

    7. Become superuser on the Sun Management Center help server machine

    8. Install the Sun Cluster module help server package SUNWscshl.

      Use the same procedure as in Step c through Step f.

  3. Reregister all resource types which received a new version from the upgrade, then re-enable resources and bring resource groups online.

    1. From any node, start the scsetup(1M) utility.


      # scsetup

    2. To work with resource groups, type 2 (Resource groups).

    3. To register resource types, type 4 (Resource type registration).

      Type yes when prompted to continue.

    4. Type 1 (Register all resource types which are not yet registered).

      The scsetup utility displays all resource types which are not registered. Type yes to continue to register these resource types.

    5. Type 8 (Change properties of a resource).

      Type yes to continue.

    6. Type 3 (Manage resource versioning).

      Type yes to continue.

    7. Type 1 (Show versioning status).

      The scsetup utility displays what resources you can upgrade to new versions of the same resource type, and the state that the resource should be in before the upgrade can begin.

      Type yes to continue.

    8. Type 4 (Re-version all eligible resources).

      Type yes to continue when prompted.

    9. Return to the Resource Group Menu.

    10. To enable resources, type 6 (Enable/Disable a resource).

      Type yes to continue when prompted.

    11. Select a resource to enable and follow the prompts. Repeat for each disabled resource.

    12. When all resources are re-enabled, type q to return to the Resource Group Menu.

    13. Type 5 (Online/Offline or Switchover a resource group).

      Type yes to continue when prompted.

    14. Follow the prompts to bring each resource group online.

    15. Exit the scsetup utility.

      Type q to back out of each submenu, or press Ctrl-C.

    Note –

    To upgrade future versions of resource types, see “Upgrading a Resource Type” in Sun Cluster 3.1 Data Service Planning and Administration Guide.

The cluster upgrade is complete. You can now return the cluster to production.
