Upgrading ACSLS on the SL4000 Feature Card

If you have an existing SL4000 feature card running ACSLS, contact Oracle Support for guidance and required materials to perform the feature card upgrade.

• ACSLS 8.5.1 supports SL4000 firmware version 1.0.2.75 or later.

• ACSLS 8.5.0 supports SL4000 firmware version 1.0.1.69.30201 only. For this release, the feature card and ACSLS are installed by Oracle Support.

Note:

If you are currently running SL4000 Library firmware 1.0.1.69.30201 and ACSLS 8.5.0, Oracle highly recommends that you upgrade the SL4000 library firmware to 1.0.2.75 or later and ACSLS to release 8.5.1 in order to take advantage of valuable enhancements.

If you only need to upgrade an instance of ACSLS (but not the library firmware) running on the feature card, refer to the ACSLS upgrade procedures included in your ACSLS publications. Downgrades of ACSLS below the 8.5.1 release are not supported on the feature card.

The SL4000 library firmware must be upgraded before ACSLS can be upgraded:

1. Ensure that you have addressed all SL4000 and ACSLS pre-installation requirements included in this document. For the SL4000, work with Oracle Support and refer to the SL4000 Modular Library System Library Guide as appropriate.
2. Upgrade SL4000 library firmware using procedures included in the SL4000 Library Guide.
3. Work with Oracle Support to upgrade the feature cards to the same firmware version as used for the SL4000 library firmware.

   Once you have completed the hardware tasks to upgrade the SL4000 library and feature cards, and have inserted the associated hard drives, you can then install the latest ACSLS software.

   Log in to the feature card as user root and perform the steps described in Installing ACSLS on the SL4000 Feature Card beginning with Initializing the Feature Card and Storage Cards.

   Follow the remaining steps to install and configure ACSLS 8.5.1 on the feature card.Once ACSLS installation is complete, you can either begin anew or restore the ACSLS database from the latest (most recent) backup as user acsss.

   To restore a previous version of the ACSLS database, load the database from a remote server onto the feature card into the /bkupc directory from a flash drive or other acceptable file transfer approach within your organization. Then run db_restore.sh using the backup's specific file name and directory location as shown in the following example:

   su - acssscd /bin./db_restore.sh /bkupc/<DB_SNAPSHOT_FILENAME>
   

   Once you have restored a database, re-start ACSLS as user acsss:

   su – acsssacsss enable
   

   If you do not want to use an existing database backup, then run accss_config to create a new one.
