Chapter 2 Installing Bundled Software
(9) Configuring Windows Firewall for the Active Upgrade Process
The Active Upgrade Console requires network access to:
•
Communicate with system components and underlying services in the ft control Software.
•
Allow communication between the Production Side and the Upgrade Side while the system is split, so you
can perform upgrade tasks.
If you have enabled Windows Firewall to protect your system, it might prevent you from using some of the
features of Active Upgrade Console. Therefore, you should enable the exception for the Active Upgrade
Console in your Windows Firewall settings.
Important Install the Active Upgrade software while the Windows Firewall service is running.
If the Windows Firewall service is not running, the installation process does not add
an entry for the Active Upgrade Console to the list of Windows Firewall exceptions.
In this case, uninstall Active Upgrade once, and install it again while the Windows
Firewall service is running.
(10) Copying Software Upgrade Packages to the System
When the system runs in split mode, the Upgrade Side has no access to the network, external storage, or data
disks. You need to put the software upgrade package to be used on Upgrade Side on system disk before you
split the system.
Tips
If your software upgrade packages are on CD-ROM\/DVD, no action is necessary. You can
access the DVD-ROM drive on the upgrade side while the system is in split mode.
