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 6 for all the nodes.

To perform offline rolling upgrade from A.11.18.X to A.12.00.00:
1. Halt the cluster.
For example, #cmhaltcl -f

3. Install authd rpm from distro.
#rpm -i <authd rpm>
Note: This step is applicable only on Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
