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

<dir_location> is the mount path where ISO image or DVD is mounted for the main

release or the extracted patch location for a patch.

<distro_major_ver> 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

<jetty location> -o erase

6. Upgrade all the RPMs. For example, to upgrade Serviceguard Manager RPM using YUM:

#yum 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.

On SUSE Linux Enterprise Server

To perform the rolling upgrade from A.11.20.X to A.12.00.00 using Zypper:

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. Create a /etc/zypp/repos.d/sglxpatch.repo Zypper repository configuration file

with the following contents:

[sglxpatchrepo]

name=sglxrpms

baseurl=file://<dir_location>/SLES/SLES11/

enabled=1
