Preparations

Perform the following preparations and checks before upgrading:

When manually performing upgrade from V13.2 or V13.3, or when operating clustered managers, perform the following preparations and checks.

Upgrade using Upgrade Installation

When upgrading to this version from V2.1.1, upgrade can be performed using upgrade installation. Perform the upgrade using the following procedure:

Note

  • Do not change the hardware settings or configurations of managers, agents, or any other devices until upgrading is completed.

  • When performing an upgrade installation, please do not access the installation folder of the earlier version or any of the files and folders inside it using the command prompt, Explorer, or an editor.
    While it is being accessed, attempts to perform upgrade installation will fail.
    If upgrade installation fails, stop accessing the files or folders and then perform the upgrade installation again.

  • In the event that upgrade installation fails, please resolve the cause of the failure and perform upgrade installation again. If the problem cannot be resolved and upgrade installation fails again, please contact Fujitsu technical staff.

  • When stopping the upgrade and restoring the earlier version, please do so by restoring the information that was backed up during the preparations.
    When performing restoration and a manager of this version or an earlier version has been installed, please uninstall it.
    After restoration, please delete the folder containing the backed up assets. For the restoration method (restore), refer to the "ServerView Resource Coordinator VE Operation Guide" of the earlier version.

  • Upgrade installation will delete patches that were applied to the earlier version.

    [Linux]
    When the PATH variable has not been configured to enable execution of UpdateAdvisor (Middleware) commands from a user-defined location, performing uninstallation will delete any patches that have been applied to the earlier version of Resource Coordinator VE, but it will not delete product information or component information. Refer to the UpdateAdvisor (Middleware) manual, delete software and component information from the applied modification check list.

  • When operating managers in clusters, transfer using upgrade installation cannot be performed. Perform the upgrade manually.

  1. Upgrade Installation

    [Windows]
    Refer to "2.1.2 Installation [Windows]", and execute the Resource Coordinator VE installer.
    The Resource Coordinator VE setup window will be displayed. Check the contents of the license agreement, etc. and then click <Yes>.
    The setting information that will be taken over from the earlier version will be displayed. Please check it and then click <Install>. Upgrade installation will begin.

    [Linux]
    Refer to "2.1.3 Installation [Linux]", and execute the Resource Coordinator VE installer.
    Check the contents of the license agreement, etc. and then enter "y".

  2. Restarting after Upgrade Installation is Finished [Windows]

    After upgrade installation is finished, restart the system in order to complete the upgrade.

Note

When using backup system images or collecting cloning images without upgrading agents, either reboot managed servers after the manager upgrade is completed or restart the "Deployment service".
For restarting managed servers and the "Deployment service", refer to "5.2 Agent" of the "Systemwalker Resource Coordinator Virtual server Edition Setup Guide" or "5.2 Agent" of the "ServerView Resource Coordinator VE Setup Guide" of the earlier version.


Manual Upgrade

Upgrading to this version from V13.2, V13.3, or earlier versions of managers in clustered operation is performed by exporting and importing system configuration files for pre-configuration. Perform the upgrade using the following procedure:

See

For pre-configuration, refer to the following manuals:

  • "Systemwalker Resource Coordinator Virtual server Edition Setup Guide"

    • "Chapter 7 Pre-configuration"

    • "Appendix D Format of CSV System Configuration Files"

  • "ServerView Resource Coordinator VE Setup Guide"

    • "Chapter 7 Pre-configuration"

    • "Appendix D Format of CSV System Configuration Files"

Note

  • When upgrading from V13.2, do not uninstall V13.2 clients until step 2. has been completed.

  • Do not change the hardware settings or configurations of managers, agents, or any other devices until upgrading is completed.

  • When upgrading from manager operating in clusters, replace the parts referring to "Systemwalker Resource Coordinator Virtual server Edition manuals" with the earlier versions of "ServerView Resource Coordinator VE manuals" for the following procedure.

  1. Set Maintenance Mode

    Use the Resource Coordinator console of the earlier version or the RC console to place all managed servers into maintenance mode.

  2. System Configuration File Export

    Use the pre-configuration function of the earlier version and export the system configuration file in CSV format. During the export, do not perform any other operations with Resource Coordinator VE.
    For the export method, refer to the "Systemwalker Resource Coordinator Virtual server Edition Setup Guide".

  3. Back up (copy) Assets to Transfer

    1. Perform backup (copying) of the certificates of the earlier version.

      Back up (copy) the following folders and directories:

      [Windows]

      • For V13.2 and V13.3

        Installation_folder\Site Manager\etc\opt\FJSVssmgr\current\certificate
        Installation_folder\Domain Manager\etc\opt\FJSVrcxdm\certificate
        Installation_folder\Manager\sys\apache\conf\ssl.crt
        Installation_folder\Manager\sys\apache\conf\ssl.key

      • For V2.1.0 or later

        Installation_folder\Manager\etc\opt\FJSVssmgr\current\certificate
        Installation_folder\Manager\etc\opt\FJSVrcxdm\certificate
        Installation_folder\Manager\sys\apache\conf\ssl.crt
        Installation_folder\Manager\sys\apache\conf\ssl.key

      [Linux]
      /etc/opt/FJSVrcvmr/opt/FJSVssmgr/current/certificate
      /etc/opt/FJSVrcvmr/sys/apache/conf/ssl.crt
      /etc/opt/FJSVrcvmr/sys/apache/conf/ssl.key

    2. Back up (copy) the folder containing the system images and cloning images of the earlier version to a location other than the installation folder and image file storage folder.
      When using the default image file storage folder, back up (copy) the following folder or directory:

      [Windows]
      Installation_folder\ScwPro\depot\Cloneimg

      [Linux]
      /var/opt/FJSVscw-deploysv/depot/CLONEIMG

      When using a folder or directory other than the default, back up (copy) the "Cloneimg" folder or "CLONEIMG" directory used.

    Note

    • When operating managers in clusters, the above folders or directories are stored on the shared disk. Check if files, folders, or directories stored in the above locations are correctly backed up (copied).
      The backup (copy) storage target can be set to be stored in a folder or directory on the shared disk other than "RCoordinator" which is created during setup of the manager cluster service.

    • When operating managers in clusters, the back up (copy) of folders or directories should be executed on the primary node.

    • Before making a backup (copy) of system images and cloning images, check the available disk space. For the disk space necessary for system images and cloning images, refer to the "Systemwalker Resource Coordinator Virtual server Edition Installation Guide". When there is no storage folder for system images and cloning images, this step is not necessary.

  4. Uninstallation of earlier version managers

    Refer to the "Systemwalker Resource Coordinator Virtual server Edition Installation Guide" for the method for uninstalling the manager of the earlier version.

    When operating managers in clusters, refer to "B.4 Releasing Configuration" in the "ServerView Resource Coordinator VE Installation Guide" of the earlier version, and uninstall the cluster services and the manager of the earlier versions.

    Note

    • Do not perform "Delete servers" as described in Preparations of the "Systemwalker Resource Coordinator Virtual server Edition Installation Guide". When managed servers using HBA address rename have been deleted, it is necessary to reboot managed servers after upgrading of the manager is completed.

    • User account information is deleted when managers are uninstalled. Refer to step 6. and perform reconfiguration from the RC console.

    • In environments where there are V13.2 managers and clients, uninstall V13.2 clients only after uninstalling the manager of the earlier version.

  5. Installation of Managers of This Version

    Install managers of this version.
    For installation, refer to "2.1 Manager Installation".

    When operating managers in cluster environments, refer to "Appendix B Manager Cluster Operation Settings and Deletion", uninstall the manager and then configure the cluster services.

    Note

    When installing managers, specify the same admin LAN as used for the earlier version on the [Admin LAN Selection] window.

    After installing managers, use the following procedure to restore the certificates and image file storage folder backed up (copied) in step 3.

    1. Stop the manager.

    2. Return the image file storage folder backup (copy) to the folder specified during installation.

      When using the default image file storage folder, restore to the following folder or directory:

      [Windows]
      Installation_folder\ScwPro\depot\Cloneimg

      [Linux]
      /var/opt/FJSVscw-deploysv/depot/CLONEIMG

      When using a folder other than the default, restore to the new folder.
      When the image file storage folder was not backed up, this step is not necessary.

    3. Restore the backed up (copied) certificates to the manager installation_folder.
      Restore to the following folder or directory:

      [Windows]
      Installation_folder\Manager\etc\opt\FJSVssmgr\current\certificate
