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

6. Upgrade all the RPMs. For example, to upgrade Serviceguard Manager RPM using Zypper:
#zypper -n upgrade serviceguard-manager
IMPORTANT: After the Serviceguard Manager RPM upgrade is complete, you need to follow
the procedure described later in this section to start sgmgr service and also create a user
which can be used as a replicated user for multi-cluster management. For more information
about how to create a replicated user, see “Installing HP Serviceguard for Linux the traditional
way”.
7. 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.
8. Repeat steps from 2 to 7 for all the nodes.
7.6.2 Rolling upgrade from A.11.19.X to A.12.00.00
To perform the rolling upgrade from A.11.19.X to A.12.00.00:
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. Uninstall sg_pidentd rpm.
CAUTION: Serviceguard commands will not work unless step 5 is complete. You cannot
change the cluster configuration files until the process of upgrade is complete on all nodes.
For example, #rpm -e --nodeps sg_pidentd-3.0.19-2
Note: This step is applicable only on Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
4. Install authd rpm from the Linux Distribution DVD or Repository.
For example, #rpm -i <authd rpm>
Note: This step is applicable only on Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
5. Upgrade serviceguard-license before you upgrade to Serviceguard. For example,
#rpm -Uvh serviceguard-license-A.12.00.00-0.rhel5.x86_64.rpm
6. 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
