How to Upgrade Sun Cluster HA for WebSphere MQ

If you need to modify the default value of a parameter, or set a value for a parameter without a default, you must remove and reregister the Sun Cluster HA for WebSphere MQ resource for which you are changing the parameter.

Only the USERID=mqm applies to the resources for all components, namely:

• Queue Manager component

• Channel Initiator component

• Command Server component

• Listener component

• Trigger Monitor component

The remaining parameters that were introduced in Sun Cluster 3.1 9/04 apply only to the resource for the Queue Manager component.

Perform this task for each WebSphere MQ resource that you are modifying.

Perform this task only if you are setting or modifying parameters that were introduced in Sun Cluster 3.1 9/04.

Steps

1. Save the resource definitions.

   # scrgadm -pvv -j resource > file1

2. Disable the resource.

   # scswitch -n -j resource

3. Remove the resource.

   # scrgadm -r -j resource

4. Configure and register the resource.

   1. Go to the directory that contains the configuration file and the registration file for the resource.

      # cd /opt/SUNWscmqs/prefixutil

   2. Edit the configuration file for the resource.

      vi prefix_config

   3. Run the registration file for the resource.

      # ./prefix_register

   prefix denotes the component to which the file applies, as follows:

   • mgr denotes the Queue Manager component.

   • chi denotes the Channel Initiator component.

   • csv denotes the Command Server component.

   • lsr denotes the Listener component.

   • trm denotes the Trigger Monitor component.

   Note –

   Only the mgr_config file contains all the parameters that are introduced in Sun Cluster 3.1 9/04. The remaining files contain only the USERID=mqm parameter.

5. Save the resource definitions.

   # scrgadm -pvv -j resource > file2

6. Compare the updated definitions to the definitions that you saved before you updated the resource.

   Comparing these definitions enables you to determine if any existing extension properties have changed, for example, time-out values.

   # diff file1 file2

7. Amend any resource properties that were reset.

   # scrgadm -c -j resource -x|y resource

8. Bring online the resource.

   # scswitch -e -j resource
