Validate Upgrade Media
Validation could be performed on MPS A or B, however, this procedure specifies MPS X for simplicity.
This procedure provides instructions to perform a validation of the upgrade media on the MPS X server. This procedure assumes that the E5-APP-B card IPM procedure has been executed and the user has an EEDB Upgrade ISO image available.
IF THIS PROCEDURE FAILS, CONTACT MY ORACLE SUPPORT AND ASK FOR UPGRADE ASSISTANCE.IPM MPS Server with TPD 7.6.X
Note:
Both the MPS-A and MPS-B servers can be IPM’ed at the same time.This procedure will IPM the E5-APP-B Server.
