Designing Disaster Recovery Clusters using Metroclusters and Continentalclusters, Reprinted October 2011 (5900-1881)

1. Upgrade the modular package configuration file of the package created with the A.04.00
version of Metrocluster with Continuous Access EVA.
When using HP Serviceguard A.11.18, complete the following steps to upgrade the modular
package configuration file:
a. Create a new package configuration file using the Metrocluster modules and all other
modules used by the package that has to be upgraded.
# cmmakepkg -m dts/mcxpca [ -m <module1_name> ...]\
<mccaeva_package.conf>
For example, for a Metrocluster ECM Oracle toolkit modular package, run the following
command:
# cmmakepkg -m dts/mccaeva -m ecmt/oracle/oracle example.conf
This new package configuration file includes all the Metrocluster environment file
parameters.
b. In this new package configuration file, specify the same values for the package parameters
as specified in the Metrocluster with Continuous Access EVA A.04.00 package
configuration file.
To obtain the Metrocluster with Continuous Access EVA A.04.00 package configuration
file, run the following command:
# cmgetconf -P <package_name>
When using HP Serviceguard A.11.19, create a new Modular package file with the
Metrocluster with Continuous Access EVA A.05.00 or later module version.
# cmmakepkg -u <existing_configuration_file> -m dts/mccaeva\
<output_file_for_upgraded_package>
2. In the file created for the upgraded package, copy the values for the following parameters
from the environment file of the package:
a. DT_APPLICATION_STARTUP_POLICY
b. WAIT_TIME
c. DR_GROUP_NAME
d. DC1_STORAGE_WORLD_WIDE_NAME
e. DC1_SMIS_LIST
f. DC1_HOST_LIST
g. DC2_STORAGE_WORLD_WIDE_NAME
h. DC2_SMIS_LIST
i. DC2_HOST_LIST
j. QUERY_TIME_OUT
For information on adding values for these parameters, see “Configuring Modular Packages
using Metrocluster with Continuous Access EVA A.05.00 or Later” (page 238)
3. Halt the package.
# cmhaltpkg <package_name>
4. Validate the package configuration file.
# cmcheckconf -P <upgraded_package_conf_file>
5. Apply the package configuration file.
# cmapplyconf -P <upgraded_package_conf_file>
