Upgrading Software With System Loads to Obtain G06.12
Functionality
This procedure instructs you to shut down the cluster and upgrade each node to the
G06.12 RVU or add SPRs to obtain G06.12 functionality. Then you rebuild the cluster
using the installation procedures in Section 3, Installing and Configuring a ServerNet
Cluster.
1. Remove all nodes from the cluster by using the procedure for removing a node in
Section 6, Adding or Removing a Node. After shutting down software processes,
be sure to disconnect the cables that link the MSEBs in group 01 to the X-fabric
and Y-fabric cluster switches
2. Upgrade each node to G06.12, or apply SPRs to obtain G06.12 clustering
functionality:
•
To upgrade to the G06.12 RVU, refer to the following manuals:
•
Interactive Upgrade Guide
•
G06.12 Software Installation and Upgrade Guide
•
To apply the SPRs, refer to Steps 1 through 3 of Upgrading Software Without
System Loads to Obtain G06.12 Functionality on page 4-21.
3. When the software on all nodes has been upgraded, rebuild the ServerNet cluster
using the procedures in Section 3, Installing and Configuring a ServerNet Cluster.
Note. HP recommends that you update the firmware and configuration of the cluster
switches to T0569AAB before connecting the upgraded nodes. The installation tasks in
Section 3 include steps for updating the ServerNet II Switch firmware and configuration.
