Shalom,

We have used this bundle on much smaller, but still critical systems with no adverse impact. This includes ServiceGuard clusters with Oracle database.

I have the following recommendations.
1) make_tape_recovery or make_net_recovery before you start.
2) Serviceguard and database down on the node you are upgrading.

Thanks for your response Steven, the configuration of the HA Cluster is Active - Active, so i want to know if there is a problem when i update one system first, reboot .., and this system joins to the cluster ... becose there will be different versions of MC Service Gard after i actualize one of the systems, so what do you recommend ? I need to actualize both systems before they form the cluster ?? Or there is no problem if One of them are running whitout the patch Bundle ....

Thanks :)
