Shalom,

Best practices:

back up configuration files and packages.

swremove the old version.

swinstall the new version of SG.

Also SG is senitive to the general system patch state. A recent bi-annual patch update is recommended.

Serviceguard is a highly available application, meaning that it was designed to allow upgrading one node at a time, while the cluster remains functional on the other nodes. After upgrading the first node, rejoin it to the cluster, move packages to that node as appropriate, and halt the next node and upgrade it and so on until all nodes have been upgraded. This method, called a Rolling Upgrade, permits the highest application uptime possible.

If you swremove the older version of Serviceguard, the removal will also zero out the cluster binary file, dissolving the cluster. After the swinstall of the newer version, you will not be able to bring the updated node into the cluster without additional work. For these reasons we recommend a rolling upgrade over swremove and then swinstall.

Hi.

What about version of the OS???

First of all, you must install all require patches for the MC/SG but it depend on the OS version!

Please show us....

[朱勇_1]

os is hpux 11.11.

and how about Object Manager, and what function of object manager is ?

[Hoang Chi Cong_1]

OK, So you need to patch these patches:

PHSS_31071, PHSS_31073.

To upgrade, you have to halt the cluster, then update for MC/SG, then build again cluster.

Keep the patches to the latest of bi-annual release bundle or a release before. It is not mandatory but keep the Onlinediag and firmware to the latest or a version below.

To upgrade MCSG select a node from the cluster where database and application is not running or of lease importance node.
If package is running on this node move it to other specified nodes.

cd /etc/cmcluster
make a tar bundle of this directory and preserve it on appropriate directory.
#tar -cvf /tmp/cluster.tar *
separate this node from the cluster by
cmhaltnode by spacifying the nodename with -n.
swremove for the existing package
swinstall new MCSG version
add the node to the cluster with
#cmrunnode -n
verify the cluster and relink oracle binaries if oracle database is present.
