Preparing the secondary site for upgrade in a Windows Server Failover Cluster environment
Perform the following procedure to prepare the nodes on the secondary site for upgrading SFW in a Windows Server Failover clustered Volume Replicator environment.
To prepare the secondary site
- Take the RVGresource offline by performing one of the following procedures:
From the Cluster Administrator console, right-click the RVG resource and select the Offline option.
From the command line, type:
[cluster resourcename] /Offline [:node name] [/Wait[:timeoutin seconds]]
- Take the Disk Group resource offline on the secondary site by performing one of the following procedures:
From the Cluster Administrator console, right-click the Disk Group resource, and select the Offline option.
From the command prompt, type:
[cluster resourcename] /Offline [:node name] [/Wait[:timeoutin seconds]]
Repeat step 2 to offline the IP resource and then the Network Name resource.
Warning:
Taking the DG(Disk Group) resource offline pauses replication, and if applications continue to run on the primary for too long, this may cause a possible replicator log overflow.
- If the existing replication settings are configured to use TCP, change the settings to use UDP. After both the primary and DR sites are upgraded, you can switch the replication settings back to TCP.
You can now proceed to upgrade SFW on all nodes of the secondary site.
