PGRADING

 

TO

 STRM 2008.3

Make sure you upgrade all systems in your deployment hosting VIS 
components. If you do not upgrade these systems, error messages may appear 
in the log files until the affected systems are upgraded. 

Custom configuration to the crontab is not maintained after the upgrade. The 
default crontab configuration is applied by the upgrade process. We 
recommend that you backup your crontab configuration prior to the upgrade 
using the

 crontab –l > /tmp/crontab_backup

 command. However, after 

the upgrade, do not replace the default crontab configuration with the backup 
version since this results in lost changes for STRM 2008.2. You must re-apply 
your custom crontab configuration after the upgrade process. 

Make sure that all systems upgrading to STRM 2008.2 include a minimum of 36 
GB drives.

We recommend that all systems include a minimum of 8 GB of memory. Note 
that most STRM appliances will not complete the upgrade process if your 
system includes less than 8 GB of memory.

Make sure that you have Java Runtime Environment installed on your system. 
You can download Java version 1.5.0_12 at the following web site: 
http://java.com/.
