If the license is invalid, restore the original license: mv $SGCONF/AutoPass/LicFile.txt.sav $SGCONF/AutoPass/LicFile.txt NOTE: If you wish to upgrade from Advanced to Enterprise licence repeat steps from 1 to 4. 4.
11, an open source rpm package to update the servers after the operating systems have been installed. For more information about YUM and YaST, see the following: • Red Hat Enterprise Linux Deployment Guide at https://access.redhat.com/site/documentation/ en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/. • SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 Deployment Guide at http://www.suse.com/documentation/ sles11/. 6 Compatibility and installation requirements 6.
6.2.3 Ports needed by Serviceguard Manager • 5511 (http) and 5522 (https) that are used by the application • This application needs a multicast IP address and a TCP/IP port for discovery which are configured in the settings by the user. These values are pre-populated for a default multicast IP: 235.1.1.1 and port 8888 and can be overwritten by the user. 6.
Table 2 Supported Java and Jetty versions Software Versions Jetty1 8.1.x Java 7 Update x 1.7 and later 1 Ensure that the Jetty location is same for all the nodes specified. NOTE: Serviceguard Manager is not compatible with Jetty server versions 9.x.x. You can install all of these software prerequisites manually or automatically by using cmeasyinstall -a command except for Java and Jetty. 6.
• Ensure that PERL is installed on all the systems where you intend to install Serviceguard using the cmeasyinstall tool. • Ensure that YUM (Yellowdog Updater Modified) update service on Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server or Zypper on SUSE Linux Enterprise Server is configured if you intend to use the -a option. NOTE: The cmeasyinstall tool does not install HP Serviceguard Extension for SAP (SGeSAP) A.06.00.20 automatically from the ISO or DVD. You must install SGeSAP manually using rpm -ivh command.
After installation is complete, if you see the following error message: node1:~ # cmviewcl unable to receive reply from local cmclconfd Connection timed out Unable to initialize `HOSTNAME_ADDRESS_FAMILY` Then, there is a problem with xinetd service.
IMPORTANT: After the Serviceguard Manager RPM installation 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. Note: Only sgmgr user can perform configuration tasks. A replicated user is a user created on one or more systems with same user name and password.
3. 4. 5. Verify the signature of the RPM. For more information about how to verify the signature of the RPM, see https://h20392.www2.hp.com/portal/swdepot/displayProductInfo.do? productNumber=HPLinuxCodeSigning.
cluster needs to be taken offline for hardware maintenance or patch installations. Until the process of upgrade is complete on all nodes, you cannot change the cluster configuration files, and you will not be able to use any of the features of the new Serviceguard release. NOTE: Starting Serviceguard 12.00.00, legacy packages are obsolete. If you have configured legacy packages, you need to migrate to modular packages before you move to 12.00.00.
7.2 Limitations of rolling upgrades • During rolling upgrade, you must issue Serviceguard commands (other than cmrunnode and cmhaltnode) on nodes that have been upgraded to latest revision of Serviceguard software. Issue of commands on yet to be upgraded nodes in the cluster will result in failure or inconsistent execution. • You cannot modify the cluster or package configuration until the upgrade is complete.
Before you start do the following: 1. 2. Record the hostname and its entire network interface IP addresses. Record each MAC address of each interface and its network assignment (Example: eth1: HWaddr 00:0B:CD:69:F4:68)) Record all network information, such as network mask, gateway address, DNS server address, its broadcast address, and so on. This information can be useful, if you are installing a new OS. NOTE: 3. Ensure that all your network and storage interfaces are supported by the new OS.
6. For Red Hat Enterprise Linux: Ensure that the sg_pidentd rpm is not installed, if present erase the rpm rpm -e --nodeps sg_pidentd-3.0.19-2 7. For Red Hat Enterprise Linux: Ensure that the authd rpm is installed. If not, install authd rpm from distro. For example, #rpm -i Follow the instructions in the README file in the directory of each driver. If you have installed a new OS version, you must run a convert program. This will convert the binary file (cmclconfig) to its new release format.
7.6 Performing rolling upgrades You can perform online or offline rolling upgrade of HP Serviceguard for Linux across major versions starting from A.11.20.X and later in the following ways: • “Rolling upgrade from A.11.20.X to A.12.00.00” • “Rolling upgrade from A.11.19.X to A.12.00.00” • “Performing offline rolling upgrade from A.11.18.X to A.12.00.
a. Export the SGMGR_ENV environment variable: SGMGR_ENV= where, 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.
NOTE: When you upgrade toolkits, use rpm –Uvh with appropriate qualifiers. For more information about qualifiers, see the following documents available at http://www.hp.com/ go/linux-serviceguard-docs: • HP Serviceguard Toolkit for Enterprise DB PPAS for Linux Release Notes Version A.12.00.00 • HP Serviceguard Toolkit for SAP Sybase ASE and SAP Sybase Replication Server for Linux Release Notes Version A.12.00.00 • HP Serviceguard Toolkit for Oracle on Linux Release Notes Version A.12.00.
is the mount path where ISO image or DVD is mounted for the main release or the extracted patch location for a patch. is the value that can be either Red Hat 5 or Red Hat 6. 4. Run the following command: #yum clean all 5. If you are upgrading Serviceguard Manager RPM, do the following: #/opt/hp/cmcluster/serviceguardmanager/Serviceguard_manager_setup/-l -o erase 6. Upgrade all the RPMs.
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.
NOTE: When you upgrade toolkits, use rpm –Uvh with appropriate qualifiers.
