Sun Cluster 2.2 7/00 Release Notes

Upgrade Bugs

4218613 - During upgrade to Sun Cluster 2.2 from HA 1.3, instance configuration information for the HA-DBMS data services is not propagated to the new cluster. This prevents the database instances from starting when the new cluster is started. This bug affects the Sun Cluster HA for Oracle, Sun Cluster HA for Sybase, and Sun Cluster HA for Informix data services.

Work around the problem by manually recreating the database instance after completing the upgrade. Use the appropriate hadbms insert command (haoracle insert, hasybase insert, or hainformix insert) as described in the associated man pages, and in the appropriate data service chapters in the Sun Cluster 2.2 Software Installation Guide.

After you recreate the database instances, start the instances by using the appropriate hadbms start command.

4218823 - During upgrade from HA 1.3 to Sun Cluster 2.2, only two of three required IP addresses are added to the /.rhosts file on each node. The address lost is the highly available IP address for the private interconnects. Utilities such as hadsconfig(1M) will not work without this entry. The user must manually add the required entries to the /.rhosts file. The procedure is documented in Chapter 3 of the Sun Cluster 2.2 Software Installation Guide.

4327771 - When upgrading from Sun Cluster 2.2 on Solaris 2.6 to Sun Cluster 2.2 7/00 on Solaris 8, the SUNWdidx package is not installed. This occurs only when Solaris 8 is booted in 64-bit mode. This causes initialization of disk IDs to fail, leaving the upgrade incomplete. Work around the problem by installing the SUNWdidx package manually, after installing the upgraded Solaris and Sun Cluster packages. Then re-initialize disk IDs, using the scdidadm(1M) command, as documented in Chapter 4 of the Sun Cluster 2.2 Software Installation Guide.
