Migration Process II:
HA/F200 with
Windows NTS/E to HA/F200 with
Windows 2000 Advanced Server
This procedure cannot be performed as a rolling upgrade. The cluster must be
shut down causing the cluster to be unavailable to clients during the migration.
This procedure also requires that a new install of Windows 2000 Advanced
Server be performed on each server rather than an operating system upgrade.
IMPORTANT:
Back up all data before beginning the migration process.
The basic steps to this rolling upgrade include:
1.
Installing Windows 2000 Advanced Server with applicable drivers and
service packs on both nodes
2.
Updating the RA4000 Controller firmware
3.
Installing Secure Path on both nodes
4.
Re-installing applications on the cluster:
Use the SmartStart Assisted Integration procedure to configure the servers
(nodes) in this migration procedure.
CAUTION:
Installation using SmartStart assumes that SmartStart is being
installed on new servers. Any existing data on the server’s boot drive will be
erased.
1.
Uninstall Microsoft Cluster Server on each Node.
2.
Insert the SmartStart CD into Node 1 and power down both nodes and
external storage systems.
3.
Power up your hardware in the following manner:
a.
Fibre Channel storage hubs or FC-AL switches (power is applied
when the AC cord is plugged in)
b.
Shared storage (wait for the drives to spin)
c.
Node 1 (with the SmartStart CD in the CD-ROM drive)
4.
Select the Erase Utility to erase the server’s boot drive. After the erase
utility is complete, you will be asked to cold boot the server. Leave the
SmartStart CD in the CD-ROM drive.
5.
Select the Assisted Integration installation path.
