How to Verify Update of the Disaster Recovery Framework Software

Language:

Perform this procedure to verify that the cluster is successfully updated to Disaster Recovery framework 4.4 software.

Before You Begin

Ensure that all update procedures are completed for all cluster nodes that you are updating.

Login to a node in the global cluster or Oracle Solaris brand zone cluster where the Disaster Recovery framework is running and assume the root role.
If the Disaster Recovery framework is running in an Oracle Solaris brand zone cluster, log in to an Oracle Solaris brand zone cluster node.
View the installed levels of Disaster Recovery framework software.
```
# pkg list ha-cluster-geo-incorporation
```
Note - The version number that the geo* -v commands return does not always coincide with the marketing release version numbers.
Repeat the preceding steps for each cluster node you updated.
Ensure that the cluster is running properly.
```
# geoadm status
```
(Optional) Perform a switchover to ensure that Disaster Recovery framework software is installed properly.
```
# geopg switchover -m remote-cluster protection-group
```
You must test your geographically separated cluster properly, so that no problems prevent a switchover. Updating only the secondary cluster first and switching over to it enables you to verify that switchover still works. If the switchover fails, the primary site is untouched and you can switch back. If switchover works on the secondary site, then after a certain 'soak time' you can update the primary site as well.

Note - A switchover shuts down the applications in the protection group on the original primary cluster and migrates the applications to the secondary cluster. You should carefully plan the required tasks and resources before you perform a switchover.
