Migration Process III:
HA/F100 with
Windows 2000 Advanced Server to
HA/F200 with Windows 2000 Advanced
Server
This procedure can be performed while keeping your cluster on-line (a rolling
upgrade) provided that the firmware levels of all RA4000 Controllers are at
the same level and v2.58 or later.
IMPORTANT:
Back up all data before beginning the migration process.
The basic steps to this rolling upgrade include:
1.
Failing over all cluster resources to node 2
2.
Adding the redundant loop hardware
3.
Upgrading the hardware of node 1
4.
Installing Secure Path on node 1
5.
Failing back all cluster resources to node 1
6.
Upgrading node 2
If an RA4000 Controller firmware upgrade is needed, then the procedure is
modified slightly to accommodate this upgrade.
NOTE:
The firmware upgrade procedure requires that the cluster be shut down causing
the cluster to be unavailable to clients during the migration.
1.
Move all cluster resources over to Node 2.
NOTE:
For help on moving cluster resources, refer to the Microsoft clustering
documentation that came with your operating system.
