TotalNET Advanced Server 5.2 Release Notes

Upgrading Steps: TAS 4.1.1

Follow these steps to upgrade from TAS 4.1.1:

  1. Back up your current version of TAS, including all volumes.

  2. Mount the TAS 5.2 CD in the drive.

  3. Change directory to the location of tnconvert with the following command, where mntpnt represents the mount point and OSversion represents the name of the platform to convert, from the table below:


    # cd /mntpnt/TAS/OSversion

    Platform 

    OSversion 

    AIX 

    aix4_1_4

    Solaris on SPARC 

    solaris2_5_1/sparc

    Solaris on i386 

    solaris2_5_1/i386

    HP 10.10 and 10.20 

    hpux10_20

    IRIX 5.3 

    irix5_3

    IRIX 6.x 

    irix6_x

  4. Run tnconvert using the format below. For a complete description of the command options, see Upgrading Overview.


    # tnconvert [-f] [-k activation-key]

    The following example shows the sequence of commands for mounting the CD and running tnconvert, for Solaris on SPARC:


    # cd /cdrom/totalnet_advanced_server/TAS/solaris2_5_1/sparc
# ./tnconvert

    To verify the success of tnconvert, check the log.tnconv file in the /etc/totalnet/convert directory. The log file for tnconvert in TAS 5.2 contains more information than in previous releases, including each conversion step, a copy of the original configuration, and a copy of the new configuration.

  5. Shut down TAS and TotalAdmin with the following sequence of commands:

    For AIX:


    # cd /usr/tn
# ./tnshut
# cd totaladmin/W3/bin
# ./tnadmin.sh stop

    For Solaris, HP, and IRIX:


    # cd /opt/TAS/tn
# ./tnshut
# cd totaladmin/W3/bin
# ./tnadmin.sh stop

  6. Unload the drivers:

    For AIX:


    # cd /usr/tn
# ./tniunload
# ./atunload

    For Solaris, HP, and IRIX:


    # cd /opt/TAS/tn
# ./tniunload
# ./atunload

    If you have Solaris or AIX, or if your system runs NetBEUI, run nbuunload in addition to tniunload and atunload:


    # ./nbuunload

  7. Remove the old package by following the appropriate instructions in the following table:

    Platform 

    Command/Instruction 

    AIX 

    Use smit.

    Sparc/i386 

    Run the command pkgrm TAS TASDOC.

    HP 10.x 

    Run the command swremove -x autoreboot=true TAS TASDOC.

    IRIX 

    Run the command inst -a -R TAS, then remove the directories /opt/TAS/tn and /opt/TAS.

  8. Install TAS 5.2 according to the instructions for your platform.

  9. Run atconvert using the format below. The dir variable represents the directory path of the volumes.


    # cd TNHOME/usr/bin
# ./atconvert dir

  10. Run tnvolck. The example below shows the sequence of commands for running tnvolck to synchronize all volumes in TAS. See the complete description of the command options.


    # ./tnvolck -a

  11. Start the TotalNET system:


    # cd TNHOME/usr/sbin
# ./tnstart

  12. Read Chapter 7, General TAS Issues.

  13. Connect to TNAS and administer TAS by following the instructions in "Connecting to TNAS and Accessing Documentation".

    You do not need to complete initial setup to upgrade.
