(5) Verifying the Upgrade Side Before Committing the Upgrade
After you have merged the system, your applications (including the Active Upgrade Console) are running from
the software on the Upgrade Side system disks. At this point, you can test the software you installed and verify
the general health of the system with full access to the system’s resources.
Tips
The following resources are available after the system is merged:
・
Network resources
・
External storage
・
Data disks
For example, you might want to perform the following tasks before you commit the upgrade:
•
Verify that all of your applications have restarted on the Upgrade Side (refer to
Chapter 1 (8.11 (2) Verifying
the Status of Application Services)
in
Maintenance Guide
).
•
Verify that you have access to your network, external storage, and data disks.
•
Verify that client systems can reach all of the services that you Express5800/ft series system provides.
•
Verify that the presence and the version number of each software package (refer to
Chapter 1 (8.11 (3)
Verifying the Status of Installed Software
) in
Maintenance Guide
.
•
Verify that you can launch and run any applications that you have installed or upgraded.
•
Verify the configurations for your applications and the operating system, which could have been altered by
software installation.
If you are satisfied that everything is working correctly, you can commit the upgrade to make the changes
permanent.
If there are any problems, you can abort the upgrade to return the system to its original state. However,
aborting the upgrade while the system is in merge mode will incur downtime
, because the Active Upgrade
Console must stop your applications on the Upgrade Side before it can restart them on the Production Side.
