Completing the SFCFSHA upgrade on BE on Solaris 11
At the end of the process:
The alternate BE is activated.
The system is booted from the alternate BE.
To complete the BE upgrade
- Activate the alternate BE.
# beadm activate altroot.7.3
- Stop application and VCS on all nodes.
# hastop -all
- Restart all the nodes in the cluster. The BE on the alternate disk is activated when you restart the nodes.
Note:
Do not use the reboot, halt, or uadmin commands to restart the system. Use either the init or the shutdown commands to enable the system to boot using the alternate BE.
# shutdown -g0 -y -i6
- After the alternate BE is activated, you can switch BEs. If the root disk is encapsulated, refer to the procedure to switch the BEs manually.
- After the upgrade, perform any required post-upgrade tasks such as upgrading the disk group.
- After the objects are recovered, and the disk group version is upgraded (if desired), run the vvr_upgrade_lu_finish script.
- If you want to upgrade the CP server systems that use VCS or SFHA to this version, make sure that you upgrade all application clusters to this version. Then, upgrade VCS or SFHA on the CP server systems.
For instructions to upgrade VCS or SFHA on the CP server systems, see the VCS or SFHA Installation Guide.
