Upgrade a Session Delivery Manager Cluster

Note:

Ensure that you are currently running SDM, Release 7.5M3. If you are running any version of SDM prior to Release 7.5M3, you cannot install SDM Release 8.0.

Use following summary of tasks to upgrade your SDM server cluster:

1. Shut down all SDM server nodes. See the Shutdown the System section for more information.
2. See the Session Delivery Manager Software Distribution Media section in the Oracle Communications Session Delivery Manager Release Notes, Release 8.0 for more information about the names and descriptions of the software files that you need to do this upgrade.
3. Download the SDM application image file to each SDM server cluster node in the same base directory in which the Release 7.5M3 software was initially installed.
4. Unzip the application image file on each SDM server cluster node. See the Unzip the Tar File to Create the Installation Directory section for more information.
5. If you are upgrading Report Manager, the Oracle Database and Oracle BI Publisher must be running before you upgrade SDM so that Report Manager database data is migrated.
6. Start the installation on the master cluster node and migrate the application data from the previous release to this master cluster node.
7. Continue the Typical Installation on the master node.
8. Migrate the application data from the previous release to each cluster replica node.
9. With the introduction of SDM, Release 8.0, you must select one server to start in the cluster only (which in this case is the master node). Once this server is started and operational, you can start the other server(s) in the cluster.
