4. Log in to the VTS server as root.
If you are logging in to the console on the VTS server, log in as root. Enter bbill as the
password. If you are logging in using an SSH or Telnet session, log in as bill and enter
bbill for the password. Then, use the su command to change to the root user. Enter bbill
as the password. Note, however, that logging in from an SSH or Telnet session is not
recommended. If the session ends abruptly, the VTS server may be left in an unknown,
unrecoverable state.
5. If GFS is enabled in your environment, complete these steps:
a. If the fencing files have been modified, back up the fencing files (/sbin/fence_*) to a
location on another file system.
b. Back up all GFS .ccs and .cfg files to a location on another file system.
These backup files may be needed if GFS does not perform as expected after the upgrade.
6. If any of the following files were modified and you want to restore these files after the
upgrade, back up these files and store them to a location on another file system:
• /etc/sysconfig/autofs
• /etc/sysconfig/xinetd
• /etc/sysconfig/vncservers
• /etc/hosts.allow
• /etc/hosts.deny
• /etc/inittab
• /etc/yum.conf
•/etc/yp.conf
• /etc/samba/smb.conf
• /etc/samba/smbusers
7. Verify the partition type of the OS swap partition. VTS should have a minimum of four
partitions, and the Linux swap partition should be configured on /dev/cciss/c0d03.
To find the device of the swap partition, enter the following command:
cat /proc/swaps
Here is an example of the output:
Filename Type Size Used Priority
/dev/cciss/c0d0p3 partition 2097112 0 -1
This indicates that the third partition on c0d0 is the swap partition.
Then, view the partition information for the drive by entering the fdisk command. Here is
an example:
fdisk -l /dev/cciss/c0d0
Here is an example of the output:
Disk /dev/cciss/c0d0: 36.3 GB, 36385505280 bytes
255 heads, 32 sectors/track, 8709 cylinders Units = cylinders of 8160
* 512 = 4177920 bytes
