Completing a Cluster Upgrade

How to Commit the Upgraded Cluster to Oracle Solaris Cluster 3.3 3/13 Software

Before You Begin

Ensure that all upgrade procedures are completed for all cluster nodes that you are upgrading.

From one node, check the upgrade status of the cluster.
```
phys-schost# scversions
```

From the following table, perform the action that is listed for the output message from Step 1.

Output Message	Action
`Upgrade commit is needed.`	Proceed to Step 3.
`Upgrade commit is NOT needed. All versions match.`	Go to How to Verify Upgrade of Oracle Solaris Cluster 3.3 3/13 Software.
`Upgrade commit cannot be performed until all cluster nodes are upgraded. Please run scinstall(1m) on cluster nodes to identify older versions.`	Return to the Oracle Solaris Cluster upgrade procedures that you used and upgrade the remaining cluster nodes.
`Check upgrade cannot be performed until all cluster nodes are upgraded. Please run scinstall(1m) on cluster nodes to identify older versions.`	Return to the Oracle Solaris Cluster upgrade procedures that you used and upgrade the remaining cluster nodes.

After all nodes have rejoined the cluster, from one node commit the cluster to the upgrade.
```
phys-schost# scversions -c
```
Committing the upgrade enables the cluster to utilize all features in the newer software. New features are available only after you perform the upgrade commitment.

From one node, verify that the cluster upgrade commitment has succeeded.

phys-schost# scversions
Upgrade commit is NOT needed. All versions match.

Perform this procedure to finish Oracle Solaris Cluster upgrade. Perform all steps from the global zone only.

Before You Begin

Ensure that all steps in How to Verify Upgrade of Oracle Solaris Cluster 3.3 3/13 Software are completed.

For highest security, from one node set the resource_security property to SECURE.
```
phys-schost-1# cluster set -p resource_security=SECURE
```
For more information about this property, see Using the resource_security Property in Oracle Solaris Cluster Data Services Developer’s Guide and the cluster(1CL) man page.
If you upgraded any data services that are not supplied on the product media, register the new resource types for those data services.
Follow the documentation that accompanies the data services.
Migrate resources to new resource type versions.
You must migrate all resources to the Oracle Solaris Cluster 3.3 3/13 resource-type version to use the new features and bug fixes that are provided in this release.

Note - For HA for SAP Web Application Server, if you are using a J2EE engine resource or a web application server component resource or both, you must delete the resource and recreate it with the new web application server component resource. Changes in the new web application server component resource includes integration of the J2EE functionality. For more information, see Oracle Solaris Cluster Data Service for SAP Web Application Server Guide.

See Upgrading a Resource Type in Oracle Solaris Cluster Data Services Planning and Administration Guide, which contains procedures which use the command line. Alternatively, you can perform the same tasks by using the Resource Group menu of the clsetup utility. The process involves performing the following tasks:
- Registering the new resource type.
- Migrating the eligible resource to the new version of its resource type.
- Modifying the extension properties of the resource type.
  
  Note - The Oracle Solaris Cluster 3.3 3/13 release might introduce new default values for some extension properties. These changes affect the behavior of any existing resource that uses the default values of such properties. If you require the previous default value for a resource, modify the migrated resource to set the property to the previous default value.
In the global zone, re-enable all disabled resources and bring online all resource groups.
- To use the clsetup utility, perform the following steps:
  1. From any node, start the clsetup utility.
```
phys-schost# clsetup
```
    The clsetup Main Menu is displayed.
  2. Choose the menu item, Resource Groups.
    The Resource Group Menu is displayed.
  3. Choose the menu item, Enable/Disable a Resource.
  4. Choose a resource to enable and follow the prompts.
  5. Repeat Step d for each disabled resource.
  6. When all resources are re-enabled, type q to return to the Resource Group Menu.
  7. Choose the menu item, Online/Offline or Switchover a Resource Group.
  8. Follow the prompts to put each resource group into the managed state and then bring the resource group online.
  9. When all resource groups are back online, exit the clsetup utility.
    Type q to back out of each submenu, or press Ctrl-C.
- To use the command line, perform the following steps:
  1. Manage and bring online each resource group and enable its resources.
```
# clresourcegroup online -eM resourcegroup
```
  2. Verify that all resource groups and resources are online.
```
# clresourcegroup status
# clresource status
```

If zone clusters are configured in the cluster, in each zone cluster re-enable all disabled resources and bring online all resource groups.

# clresourcegroup online -Z zonecluster resource-group
# clresource enable -Z zonecluster resource
# clresourcegroup online -eM -Z zonecluster resource-group

If your cluster runs the HA for Sun Java System Application Server EE (HADB) data service and you shut down the HADB database before you began a dual-partition upgrade, re-enable the resource and start the database.
```
phys-schost# clresource enable hadb-resource
phys-schost# hadbm start database-name
```
For more information, see the hadbm(1m) man page.
If you upgraded to the Oracle Solaris 10 OS and the Apache httpd.conf file is located on a cluster file system, ensure that the HTTPD entry in the Apache control script still points to that location.
1. View the HTTPD entry in the /usr/apache/bin/apchectl file.
  The following example shows the httpd.conf file located on the /global cluster file system.
```
phys-schost# cat /usr/apache/bin/apchectl | grep HTTPD=/usr
HTTPD="/usr/apache/bin/httpd -f /global/web/conf/httpd.conf"
```
2. If the file does not show the correct HTTPD entry, update the file.
```
phys-schost# vi /usr/apache/bin/apchectl
#HTTPD=/usr/apache/bin/httpd
HTTPD="/usr/apache/bin/httpd -f /global/web/conf/httpd.conf"
```
If you upgraded to the Oracle Solaris 10 OS and you intend to configure zone clusters, set the number of expected zone clusters.
Specify the number of zone clusters that you expect to configure in the cluster.
```
phys-schost# cluster set net-props -p num_zoneclusters=N
```
The command calculates the number of additional private-network IP addresses that are needed and automatically modifies the IP address range.
From any node, start the clsetup utility.
```
phys-schost# clsetup
```
The clsetup Main Menu is displayed.
Re-enable all disabled resources.
1. Choose the menu item, Resource Groups.
  The Resource Group Menu is displayed.
2. Choose the menu item, Enable/Disable a Resource.
3. Choose a resource to enable and follow the prompts.
4. Repeat Step c for each disabled resource.
5. When all resources are re-enabled, type q to return to the Resource Group Menu.
Bring each resource group back online.
This step includes the bringing online of resource groups in non-global zones.
1. Choose the menu item, Online/Offline or Switchover a Resource Group.
2. Follow the prompts to put each resource group into the managed state and then bring the resource group online.
When all resource groups are back online, exit the clsetup utility.
Type q to back out of each submenu, or press Ctrl-C.
If, before upgrade, you enabled automatic node reboot if all monitored shared-disk paths fail, ensure that the feature is still enabled.
Also perform this task if you want to configure automatic reboot for the first time.
1. Determine whether the automatic reboot feature is enabled or disabled.
```
phys-schost# clnode show
```
  - If the reboot_on_path_failure property is set to enabled, no further action is necessary.
  - If reboot_on_path_failure property is set to disabled, proceed to the next step to re-enable the property.
2. Enable the automatic reboot feature.
```
phys-schost# clnode set -p reboot_on_path_failure=enabled node
```
  -p
  
  Specifies the property to set
  
  reboot_on_path_failure=enable
  
  Specifies that the node will reboot if all monitored disk paths fail, provided that at least one of the disks is accessible from a different node in the cluster.
3. Verify that automatic reboot on disk-path failure is enabled.
```
phys-schost# clnode show
=== Cluster Nodes ===                          

Node Name:                                      node
…
  reboot_on_path_failure:                          enabled
…
```
Revalidate the upgraded cluster configuration.
See How to Validate the Cluster in Oracle Solaris Cluster Software Installation Guide.
(Optional) Capture the disk partitioning information for future reference.
```
phys-schost# prtvtoc /dev/rdsk/cNtXdYsZ > filename
```
Store the file in a location outside the cluster. If you make any disk configuration changes, run this command again to capture the changed configuration. If a disk fails and needs replacement, you can use this information to restore the disk partition configuration. For more information, see the prtvtoc(1M) man page.
(Optional) Install or complete upgrade of Oracle Solaris Cluster Geographic Edition 3.3 3/13 software.
See Chapter 4, Upgrading the Geographic Edition Software, in Oracle Solaris Cluster Geographic Edition Installation Guide.
(Optional) Make a backup of your cluster configuration.
An archived backup of your cluster configuration facilitates easier recovery of the your cluster configuration,
For more information, see How to Back Up the Cluster Configuration in Oracle Solaris Cluster System Administration Guide.

Troubleshooting

Resource-type migration failure - Normally, you migrate resources to a new resource type while the resource is offline. However, some resources need to be online for a resource-type migration to succeed. If resource-type migration fails for this reason, error messages similar to the following are displayed:

phys-schost - Resource depends on a SUNW.HAStoragePlus type resource that is not online anywhere. (C189917) VALIDATE on resource nfsrs, resource group rg, exited with non-zero exit status. (C720144) Validation of resource nfsrs in resource group rg on node phys-schost failed.

If resource-type migration fails because the resource is offline, use the clsetup utility to re-enable the resource and then bring its related resource group online. Then repeat migration procedures for the resource.

Java binaries location change - If the location of the Java binaries changed during the upgrade of Oracle Solaris software, you might see error messages similar to the following when you attempt to run the cacaoadm start or smcwebserver start commands:

phys-schost# /usr/sbin/cacaoadm startNo suitable Java runtime found. Java 1.5.0_06 or higher is required.Jan 3 17:10:26 ppups3 cacao: No suitable Java runtime found. Java 1.5.0_06 or higher is required.Cannot locate all the dependencies

phys-schost# smcwebserver start/usr/sbin/smcwebserver: /usr/jdk/jdk1.5.0_06/bin/java: not found

These errors are generated because the start commands cannot locate the current location of the Java binaries. The JAVA_HOME property still points to the directory where the previous version of Java was located, but that previous version was removed during upgrade.

To correct this problem, change the setting of JAVA_HOME in the following configuration files to use the current Java directory:

/etc/webconsole/console/config.properties/etc/opt/SUNWcacao/cacao.properties
