Upgrading XP Cluster Extension Software for Windows
The upgrade procedure that you use depends on the installed version of XP Cluster Extension. For
instructions on upgrading XP Cluster Extension for Windows, see the following sections:
• Upgrading from XP Cluster Extension 2.08.01 (Windows Server 2003 QFS), page 23
• Upgrading from XP Cluster Extension 2.08.01 (Windows Server 2003 MNS), page 23
• Upgrading from XP Cluster Extension 3.0x.00 (Windows Server 2003/2008/2008 R2), page 24
Upgrading from XP Cluster Extension 2.08.01 (Windows Server 2003 QFS)
This version of XP Cluster Extension does not support the QFS configuration. If you try to upgrade XP
Cluster Extension when a local quorum (shared quorum) is configured, the installer stops the upgrade
process and instructs you to first migrate your QFS configuration to a Majority Node Set (MNS)
configuration.
To migrate from a QFS configuration to a Microsoft MNS configuration, follow the instructions in the
white paper Migrating HP StorageWorks XP Cluster Extension Q uorum Filter Service Implementations
to Microsoft Majority Node Set Quorum Configurations, which is available at http://www.hp.com.
Upgrading from XP Cluster Extension 2.08.01 (Windows Server 2003 MNS)
If you try to install this version of XP Cluster Extension on a system where XP Cluster Extension 2.08.01
already exists with an MNS configuration, the installer prompts you to locate and perform the following
procedure, which allows you to upgrade without losing your existing cluster resource configuration
information.
NOTE:
During the upgrade process, do not access the XP Cluster Extension resource Parameters page on
any node on which the upgrade has not been completed.
1. Download the XP Cluster Extension Software from SUM. You can access SUM from the ITRC
website: http://www.itrc.hp.com.
2. Move all of the applications from the current node to any other node.
3. Uninstall XP Cluster Extension from the current node.
a. Select Start > Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs.
b. Select Cluster Extension XP, and then click Change/Remove.
c. When the installer asks if you want to unregister the resource type, click Yes.
d. When the installer notifies you that XP Cluster Extension resources still exist in the cluster,
click Yes to continue the uninstall procedure.
e. If the message Warning: Unable to rename clxmscs.dll appears, ignore this
message and continue by clicking OK.
