Hi all, I read some documentation about Storage Foundation for HA (VCS and VXFS) upgrades when root disk is mirrored and encapsulated on Solaris 10, but I still have some doubts, since there are a lot of ways of doing the upgrade and some steps are not clear. I donĀ“t need to upgrade the OS. What would be the best practice when I need to upgrade both: VCS and VXFS, using the installer scripts to have less manual steps as possible? 1-) Do I really need to unencapsulate boot disk (using vxunroot, changing /etc/vfstab to c#t#d# format and going to single mode), or just dissassociating the mirror or plex will be enough? 2-) Do I need to uninstall the old storage foundation before install the new version? 3-) According to the phased upgrade steps from 5.1 install guide, we need to execute installsf script for starting upgrade. But will it upgrade everything (VXFS and VCS) at the same time? Or do I need to execute the same procedure twice? one to upgrade vxfs using installsf, and at the second time, I need to run installvcs, to upgrade VCS? About MP, I have one doubt. I know I have to apply 4.1MP2, before upgrading to 5.1. Can I apply that MP in a live environment? What is the recommendation? Unencapsulating everything and going to single mode, or just stopping cluster using hastop -all? Thanks for your help, MarciaSolved812Views0likes3Comments
