4.3.4 How to Upgrade the Client Software From Sun Cluster 2.0 or 2.1 to Sun Cluster 2.2

Upgrading the client software involves removing old client software packages and replacing them with new client software packages, on the administrative workstation.

Upgrading the client software includes:

Upgrading the Solaris operating environment on the administrative workstation
Removing the Sun Cluster 2.0 or 2.1 client packages from the administrative workstation
Installing the Sun Cluster 2.2 client packages on the administrative workstation
Changing the SNMP port number, if you will be using Sun Cluster SNMP

These are the detailed steps to upgrade the client software from Sun Cluster 2.0 or 2.1 to Sun Cluster 2.2. This procedure assumes you are using an administrative workstation.

Upgrade the Solaris operating environment on the administrative workstation to Solaris 2.6 or 7.

For details, see the Solaris Advanced System Administration Guide and Chapter 2, Planning the Configuration.
1. Partition your local disk according to Sun Cluster guidelines.
  
  See Chapter 2, Planning the Configuration, for details.
2. Install Solaris patches.
  
  Check the patch database or contact your local service provider for any hardware or software patches required to run the Solaris operating environment, Sun Cluster 2.2, or your volume management software.
  
  Install any required patches by following the instructions in the README file accompanying each patch.
3. Reboot the administrative workstation.

Load the Sun Cluster 2.2 CD-ROM on the administrative workstation.

Use the Sun Cluster 2.0 or 2.1 version of scinstall(1M) to remove the 2.0 or 2.1 client software packages from the administrative workstation.

As root, invoke the Sun Cluster 2.0 or 2.1 version of scinstall(1M). Select "remove" from the scinstall(1M) menu and remove the Sun Cluster 2.0 or 2.1 client packages. The screens may vary, depending on your software version.

If you will be using Sun Cluster SNMP, change the port number used by the Sun Cluster SNMP daemon and Solaris SNMP (smond).

The default port used by Sun Cluster SNMP is the same as the default port number used by Solaris SNMP; both use port 161. Change the Sun Cluster SNMP port number using the procedure described in the appendix on Sun Cluster SNMP management solutions in the Sun Cluster 2.2 System Administration Guide. You must stop and restart both the snmpd and smond daemons after changing the port number.
