2. Click run plan (includes preflight).

Upgrade the NEP application and the NEP application agent

If a NFS agent is used as part of the hosted application, upgrade the NFS agent before activating Sun Cluster. You can upgrade the agents later too. For more details on upgrading Sun Cluster, see Chapter 8, Upgrading Sun Cluster Software, in Sun Cluster Software Installation Guide for Solaris OS.

Note –
The upgrade procedure is specific to the hosted application, and can be automated by NEP's end-to-end upgrade. See the application documentation for instructions.

Activate the new cluster environment.
1. On one of the hosts in the first partition, type the following command to activate the first partition.
  
  /usr/cluster/bin/scinstall
2. Select Manage a dual-partition upgrade.
3. Select Apply dual-partition upgrade changes.
  
  The hosts in the first partition are rebooted into the cluster mode. Once they are successfully booted as active cluster members, the hosts in the second partition are halted.
4. Boot the hosts in the second partition in the non-cluster mode.
  
  ok boot -x
5. On the second partition, run all the steps from upgrading the OS (Upgrade Operating System plan).
6. Boot the second partition in cluster mode.
  1. Run /usr/cluster/bin/scinstall on the second partition.
  2. Select option #3 Manage a dual-partition upgrade.
  3. Select sub option #4 Apply dual-partition upgrade changes.
  4. Press enter to reboot the node to cluster mode.

Perform the common steps for all the types of upgrade. See Upgrade Remaining Services and Install the Security Service.
