HP Tru64 UNIX Version 5.1B-2 and Higher Patch Kit Installation Instructions (March 2009)

Note:
The clu_upgrade command verifies whether sufficient space exists at the start of a rolling
upgrade. However, nothing prevents a cluster member from consuming disk space during a
rolling upgrade, thus creating a situation where a later stage might not have enough disk space.
Disk space is dynamic. If you know that a member will be consuming disk space during a rolling
upgrade, add additional space before you start the upgrade.

The setup stage performs the clu_upgrade check setup command, creates tagged files, and
prepares the cluster for the roll.
The clu_upgrade setup lead_memberid command performs the following tasks:
• Creates the rolling upgrade log file, /cluster/admin/clu_upgrade.log.
• Makes the -v check setup tests listed in “Preparation Stage”.
• Prompts you to indicate whether to perform an update installation, install a patch kit, install
an NHD kit, or a combination thereof. The following example shows the menu displayed
by the TruCluster software Version 5.1B clu_upgrade command:
What type of rolling upgrade will be performed?
Selection Type of Upgrade
---------------------------------------------------------------
1 An upgrade using the installupdate command
2 A patch using the dupatch command
3 A new hardware delivery using the nhd_install command
4 All of the above
5 None of the above

Enter your Choices (for example, 1 2 2-3):
• If you specify an update installation, copies the relevant kits onto disk:
— If performing an update installation, copies the cluster kit to /var/adm/update/
TruClusterKit so that the kit will be available to the installupdate command
during the install stage. (The installupdate command copies the operating system
kit to /var/adm/update/OSKit during the install stage.) The clu_upgrade command
prompts for the absolute pathname for the TruCluster software kit location. On a
TruCluster software Version 5.1B cluster, when performing a rolling upgrade that
includes an update installation, remember to mount the TruCluster software kit before
running the clu_upgrade setup command.
— On a TruCluster software Version 5.1B cluster, if performing an NHD installation, uses
the nhd_install command to copy the NHD kit to /var/adm/update/NHDKit
Caution:
The files in /var/adm/update are critical to the roll process. Do not remove or modify
files in this directory. Doing so can cause a rolling upgrade to fail.
• Creates the mandatory set of tagged files for the OSF (base), TCR (cluster), and IOS
(Worldwide Language Support) products.
