Upgrade Path

I have a two node Veritas CFS cluster. DR is provided by a remote standalone node that only runs VXVM and VXFS. For the purposes of DR, it does currently serve its purpose. However, There is a mismatch in the s/w versions. I do realise these versions have been superseeded. However, I want to get the DR system at exactly the same revision(s)..prior to planning an upg...

 

What is the recommended upg path/patch set ?? Many thanks..

From MP1_RP4 to MP3_RP2

Many thanks

  • Many thanks..Had looked there previously, but could not find. Have now been pointed in the direction of Symantec's FileConnect website. . .

     

  • I found MP3 using the above link.

    My search criteria was:

    Product: Veritas Storage Foundation HA

    Version: 5.0

    Platform: Solaris SPARC

     

    The following appeared in the list:

    5.0 MP3 for Solaris Sparc

    Download link: https://sort.symantec.com/patch/detail/1326

    MP3 was available as a patch to update existing 5.0 installations as well as a full release on FileConnect for new installations and upgrades from previous versions.
