5.1.2.1 Preparing for the upgrade

The operational environment must be prepared prior to upgrading the Storage Cruiser's manager, as described below.

  1. Checking the Symfoware

    The Symfoware product is bundled with this product. If Symfoware is already installed on the server where the upgrade will be performed, check the Symfoware environment before starting the upgrade.

    See

    Refer to "Before installation" in "Installation of ETERNUS SF Manager" in the ETERNUS SF Installation and Setup Guide for this version for details.

  2. Check that the ETERNUS SF Manager services are stopped on the secondary node.

    If not stopped, use the Failover Cluster Manager on the secondary node to stop the transactions of ETERNUS SF Manager.

  3. When using the ETERNUS VASA Provider or the ETERNUS Information Provider, check that the ETERNUS Information Provider service is stopped on the secondary node.

    If not stopped, use the Failover Cluster Manager on the secondary node to stop the transactions of the ETERNUS Information Provider.

  4. On the primary node, stop the ETERNUS SF Manager services.

    Use the Failover Cluster Manager to stop the transactions of ETERNUS SF Manager.
    However, the shared disk for shared data of ETERNUS SF Manager must be online.

  5. When using the ETERNUS VASA Provider or the ETERNUS Information Provider, stop the ETERNUS Information Provider service on the primary node.

    Use the Failover Cluster Manager to stop the transactions of the ETERNUS Information Provider.
    However, the shared disk for shared data of the ETERNUS Information Provider must be online.

  6. If Managed Server transactions coexist in the clustered system, perform the following procedure:

    1. On the secondary node for a target transaction, check that the Managed Server transactions are stopped.

      If not stopped, use the Failover Cluster Manager to stop Managed Server transactions on the secondary node.
      If multiple Managed Server transactions exist, perform this procedure on each secondary node for Managed Server transactions.

    2. On the primary node for a target transaction, stop the Managed Server transaction.

      Use the Failover Cluster Manager to stop Managed Server transactions.
      However, the shared disk for shared data of Managed Server transactions must be online.
      If multiple Managed Server transactions exist, perform this procedure on each primary node for Managed Server transaction.

  7. Stop the local transactions on all the nodes, perform the following procedure:

    1. Select Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Services.

    2. Select "AdvancedCopy Manager COM Service" and then click Stop.

  8. Back up the environment and data.

    • On the primary and secondary nodes, back up the Windows system.

    • On the primary node, back up the shared disk for shared data of ETERNUS SF Manager.

    • If Managed Server transactions coexist in the clustered system, back up the shared disk for shared data of Managed Server transactions on each primary node for target transaction.

    Point

    If a failure occurs during the upgrade, you cannot restore the environment to the pre-installation status (rollback). Therefore, back up the following before the upgrade.

    • Windows system

    • Shared disk for shared data of ETERNUS SF Manager

    • Shared disk for shared data of Managed Server transactions

    If a failure occurs during the upgrade, restore the system from the backup.

  9. On the primary node, check that SymfoWARE RDB RDBSWSTF services are started.
    If not started, refer to "Starting Services" in the ETERNUS SF AdvancedCopy Manager Operation Guide (for Windows).

Note

If the Windows system cannot be backed up, the upgrade procedure described in the section below cannot be performed.
In this case, perform the following procedure:

  1. Uninstall the previous product version.

  2. If Symfoware Server that was bundled with AdvancedCopy Manager is being used, perform the following:

    From the Control Panel, use the Add or Remove Programs or Programs and Features function to uninstall Symfoware.
    If you have installed both the Symfoware Server and the Symfoware Server Client, uninstall the Symfoware Server Client first.

  3. Install this product version.

5.1.2.2 Performing the upgrade (Primary node)
