Version 5.1AStage
The currently installed (old) version of clu_upgrade is
always run in this stage.
XPreparation
The currently installed (old) version of clu_upgrade is
always run in this stage.
If performing an update installation, the new version of the
clu_upgrade is extracted from the TruCluster software
kit and installed at /usr/sbin/clu_upgrade, replacing
the old version. Because this replacement is done before
tagged files are created, all members will use the new
clu_upgrade throughout the remainder of the rolling
upgrade.
XSetup
If the rolling upgrade includes an update installation, all
members use the new version of clu_upgrade installed
during the setup stage. (Otherwise, members continue to
run the current version of clu_upgrade.)
XPreinstall
If the rolling upgrade includes an update installation, all
members use the version of clu_upgrade installed during
the setup stage.
During the update installation, a new version of
installupdate replaces the old one.
A patch kit always installs the latest version of dupatch.
If performing a patch, and if the patch kit includes a new
version of clu_upgrade, the new version is installed and
will be used by all cluster members starting with the
postinstall stage.
XInstall
If a new version of clu_upgrade was installed in either
the setup stage or the install stage, all members use the new
version.
XPostinstall
If a new version of clu_upgrade was installed in either
the setup stage or the install stage, all members use the new
version.
XRoll
If a new version of clu_upgrade was installed in either
the setup stage or the install stage, all members use the new

XSwitch

the setup stage or the install stage, all members use the new
