Installing Software Updates

This section provides the following information to install software updates (SRUs) to Geographic Edition software:

To upgrade to a new Geographic Edition software version, instead see Chapter 4, Upgrading the Geographic Edition Software.

Guidelines for Updating Geographic Edition Software

Observe the following guidelines and requirements to update Geographic Edition software:

How to Prepare the Cluster for Software Update Installation

  1. Ensure that the cluster is functioning properly.

    To view the current status of the cluster, run the following command from any node:

    % cluster status

    See the cluster(1CL) man page for more information.

    Search the /var/adm/messages log on the same node for unresolved error messages or warning messages.

  2. Assume the root role on a node of the global cluster.
  3. Remove all application resource groups from protection groups.

    This step ensures that resource groups are not stopped when you later stop the protection groups.

    # geopg remove-resource-group resourcegroup protectiongroup

    See the geopg(1M) man page for more information.

  4. Perform the preceding steps on all clusters that have a partnership with this cluster.
  5. Stop all protection groups that are active on the cluster.
    # geopg stop -e local protectiongroup

    See the geopg(1M) man page for more information.

  6. Stop the Geographic Edition infrastructure.
    # geoadm stop

    Shutting down the infrastructure ensures that a software update installation on one cluster does not affect the other cluster in the partnership.

    See the geoadm(1M) man page for more information.

  7. On each node, stop the common agent container.
    # /usr/sbin/cacaoadm stop

Next Steps

Install the required software updates for the Geographic Edition software. Go to How to Install Software Updates.

How to Install Software Updates

Perform this procedure on each cluster node where you want the Geographic Edition software to run.

Update the secondary cluster before you update the primary cluster, to permit testing.

Before You Begin

Perform the following tasks:

  1. Ensure that all the nodes are online and part of the cluster.

    To view the current status of the cluster, run the following command from any node:

    % cluster status

    See the cluster(1CL) man page for more information.

    Search the /var/adm/messages log on the same node for unresolved error messages or warning messages.

  2. Assume the root role in the global zone of a node.
  3. Perform any necessary updates to the Geographic Edition software by using the pkg update command.

    If you are updating Oracle Solaris Cluster software, perform updates on both clusters.

    For instructions on performing a software update, see Chapter 11, Updating Your Software, in Oracle Solaris Cluster System Administration Guide

  4. Repeat Step 2 and Step 3 on each remaining node.
  5. After you have installed all required software updates on all nodes of the cluster, on each node of the global cluster or zone cluster that you are configuring with Geographic Edition, start the common agent container.
    # /usr/sbin/cacaoadm start

Next Steps

After you update the secondary cluster, perform a sanity test on the Geographic Edition software, and then repeat this procedure on the primary cluster.

Configure Geographic Edition software on the clusters. Go to Chapter 3, Enabling and Configuring the Geographic Edition Software.
