Understanding the Active Upgrade Console Interface
Preparing for the Active Upgrade Process 2-2 5
You can click Active Upgrade to perform a readiness check, and, if you are still
modifying a configuration file, you can click any page in the Configuration section to
go back and make additional changes.
After you initiate an upgrade session (by clicking Split on the Active Upgrade page),
the navigation bar reverts to a static mode, in which it only indicates where you are in
the upgrade process and does not allow you to skip between pages. At that point, you
use the controls in the
main window to complete the upgrade process.
The pages in the Active Upgrade section of the navigation bar have the following
purposes:
Active Upgrade — Allows you to perform a readiness test, and if applicable, to
split the system for an upgrade.
•
Split System — Indicates that the system is entering split mode, and allows
you to merge system resources (or abort the upgrade) after you finish running
installation packages.
•
Merge System — Indicates that the system is entering merge mode, and
allows you to commit (or abort) the upgrade after you have tested your
changes.
•
Commit Upgrade — Indicates that the system is committing the upgrade, and
allows you to finish the process by cleaning up system resources.
•
Abort Upgrade — Indicates that the upgrade process has been aborted, and
allows you to finish the process by cleaning up system resources. (You can
abort the upgrade process at any point prior to committing the upgrade.)
•
Finish — Indicates that the upgrade process is complete and allows you to
save a copy of the activity log to a file, start another upgrade, or exit the Active
Upgrade console.
The navigation bar also contains the Links shown in Figure 2-7 , which are active only
while the system is running in split mode.
