Building Disaster Recovery Serviceguard Solutions Using Continentalclusters A.08.00

A Migrating to Continentalclusters A.08.00
Continentalclusters version A.08.00 includes enhanced features and capabilities, such as support
for modular packages, IPv6 support, and a secure communication protocol for inter-cluster
operations. HP recommends that you migrate Continentalclusters to the latest version to obtain the
benefits of these features.
NOTE: Upgrading to Continentalclusters A.08.00 requires re-applying the Continentalclusters
configuration.
IMPORTANT: Continentalclusters A.06.00 or higher can only be upgraded to Continentalclusters
A.08.00. For configurations versions earlier than A.06.00 must upgrade to version A.06.00 before
migrating to Continentalclusters A.08.00.
To migrate to Continentalclusters A.08.00:
1. Set up the secure communication environment.
For more information on setting up the SSH environment for Continentalclusters, see “Sample
Continentalclusters Configuration” (page 9).
2. Halt the monitor package.
# cmhaltpkg ccmonpkg
3. Install Continentalclusters A.08.00 using the swinstall command on all the nodes of the
cluster.
4. Verify the Continentalclusters configuration ASCII file that was used to create this
Continentalclusters configuration.
# cmcheckconcl -v -C cmconcl.config
5. Apply the same Continentalclusters configuration file used in step 4.
# cmapplyconcl -v -C cmconcl.config
6. Start the monitor package.
# cmrunpkg ccmonpkg
7. Verify the configuration and the status of the cluster.
# cmviewconcl
