Upgrading a Primary-site CMP Cluster

You must upgrade the primary-site CMP cluster first in any Policy Management topology. This procedure describes the normal upgrade process.

Note: Contact My Oracle Support and inform them of your upgrade plans prior to beginning this or any upgrade procedure. Before upgrading any system, please read the upgrade procedure, the Release Notice for this release, and any Network Impact Report. Also, go to the My Oracle Support website and review any Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs) that relate to this upgrade.

CAUTION: After you begin an upgrade, any changes you make to the configuration during the process (such as creating or editing network elements or policies) may be lost.

If you are installing a patch or patch set, use the procedure described in Preparing to Install a Patch or Patch Set.

If you are installing an upgrade to the current release, see Preparing for an Upgrade before starting this procedure.

To upgrade the primary-site CMP cluster:

Log in to the active CMP server as an administrator with upgrade privileges.
Click Upgrade in the navigation pane and then click Upgrade Manager.
The Upgrade Manager page opens.
Select an ISO file to use for the upgrade.
For more information, see Selecting an ISO for Upgrade.
Select the primary CMP (Site1) cluster and click Start Upgrade.
You are prompted: Are you sure that you want to perform this action? Initiate upgrade server_name (next)
Click OK to continue.
The confirmation window closes and the Upgrade Manager performs pre-upgrade checks and then upgrades the standby server. The Upgrade Operation column displays the progress of the action; for example:

Note: The number of steps in any given action is determined outside of the Upgrade Manager and may vary from release to release.
When the standby server is upgraded, the Upgrade Operation column displays the message: Initiate upgrade Completed Successfully at date_time. and the following alarms are reported:
- 70500-System Mixed Version
- 70501-Cluster Mixed Version
- 70502-Cluster Replication Inhibited
- 70503-Server Forced Standby
- 70506-Upgrade Operation Failed
- 70507-Upgrade In Progress
- 70508-Server Is Zombie
Tip: Review alarms associated with each action before proceeding with the next action.
Log in to the active server of the primary-site CMP cluster as root.
The system displays the root-level prompt (#).
Enter the command ls -l /var/camiant/iso to verify that the correct CMP ISO is in the directory.
If the ISO is not present, enter the following commands:
rm -f /var/camiant/iso/*
cp /var/TKLC/upgrade/* /var/camiant/iso
Upgrade files are copied to the target directory on the active server.
Enter the command logout.
You are logged out of the active server.
Log in to the active CMP server as an administrator with upgrade privileges.
You have access to the Upgrade menu in the navigation pane.
Select the cluster again and click Continue Upgrade.
You are prompted: Are you sure that you want to perform this action? Failover to new version cluster_name (next).
Click OK to continue.
If you stop an upgrade at a point of operator intervention, you can resume it later, or roll it back from there.
The confirmation window closes and the cluster fails over to the standby server, which becomes the active server.
Select the cluster again and click Continue Upgrade.
You are prompted: Are you sure that you want to perform this action? Initiate upgrade server_name (next).
Click OK.
The remaining CMP server in the cluster is upgraded. When the Cluster Mixed Version alarm clears, the upgrade is complete.
Tip: You do not have to wait for the primary CMP cluster to be upgraded before beginning to upgrade the secondary CMP cluster.

The primary-site CMP cluster is upgraded. You must now upgrade the secondary (Site2) CMP cluster, if present, before you can upgrade any other Policy Management clusters. When all the CMP clusters are upgraded, you can upgrade the remaining clusters of the Policy Management network.
