HP Serviceguard for Linux Advanced Version 12.00.00 Release Notes, May 2014

a. Export the SGMGR_ENV environment variable:

SGMGR_ENV=<replicated user password>

where, <replicated user password> is the password that you want to set for

Serviceguard Manager user.

For more information about how to create a replicated user, see “Installing HP

Serviceguard for Linux the traditional way”.

NOTE: Installation of Serviceguard Manager for Linux B.12.00.00 automatically creates

a user called sgmgr and password for this user is taken from the SGMGR_ENV environment

variable.

b. Upgrade node 1:

# cmupgrade [-a <automatic-installation-of-pre-requisites>] {-d

<mount-path-where-DVD-is-mounted>} {-j <jetty location>}

For more information, see cmupgrade (1m) manpage.

c. If you are upgrading to patch:

# cmupgrade {-d extracted_patch_location} {-j jetty-location}

IMPORTANT: Before you upgrade to the patch, ensure that HP Serviceguard for Linux

Advanced 12.00.00 is installed on your system.

NOTE: The cmupgrade tool does not install or upgrade HP Serviceguard Extension for SAP

(SGeSAP) to version A.06.00.20 automatically from the ISO or DVD. You must upgrade

SGeSAP manually using rpm -Uvh command. If you are already running SGeSAP version

A.06.00.20, then it is not required to upgrade or reinstall the product.

Also, the cmupgrade tool does not install or upgrade Quorum Server.

4. Restart cluster on first node.

For example, # cmrunnode -n node1

Check that the node joins the cluster successfully, and if necessary, move packages back to

the node.

5. Repeat steps from 2 to 4 for all the nodes.

Upgrading HP Serviceguard for Linux the traditional way

To perform the rolling upgrade from A.11.20.X to A.12.00.00 the traditional way:

1. Enable global switching for packages running on node 1.

The cmmodpkg command enables switching of the package.

For example, #cmmodpkg -e pkg1

2. Halt first node.

Halt the node you want to upgrade. This results in the node's packages to start up on an

adoptive node. The Serviceguard daemon on node 1 is halted.

For example, #cmhaltnode -f node1

3. You can upgrade node 1 in the same order as described in the “Packaging information”.

For example, Serviceguard rpm for Red Hat 5 x86_64

#rpm –Uvh serviceguard-A.12.00.00-0.rhel5.x86_64.rpm
