[avik]

whts the procedure to upgrade the SG in hpux 11.11 cluster from version from ServiceGuard:A.11.15.00 to ServiceGuard:A.11.16.00

[melvyn burnard]

obtain the SG A.11.16 software and relevant patch.
Halt one cluster node using cmhaltnode
swinstall the SG software and patch
cmrunnode to put it back in the cluster.
repeat for all other nodes.
I recommend that you read the Release NOtes first, and the Securing SG White Papers before doing this, available at http://docs.hp.com/en/ha

do i hv to get a new code word from hp to perform the upgrade ? what would be upgrade media i wud be using for any particular cd part number ?

[melvyn burnard]

You would need your media you get on your contract, and that shoul dhave a codeword I assume.

[Bill Hassell]

When you receive your Application CDs, the codewords that apply to your products will be shipped with the CDs. Each CD set has a different codeword set. You can also apply for your codeword online or by fax.

are you saying that A11.16 can be installed from the same cd/dvd with which i had installed the current version mc/sg- A11.15, i am running ?

[Kent Ostby]

avik --

No. Generally HP only ships one version of Serviceguard at a time.

Shalom avik,

We consider A.11.16 to be very stable. I'm in the process of doing this very upgrade by the methodology above.

There are some security enhancements so don't be surpised if your node has some issues connecting to the cluster.

There are minor changes requires to inetd.conf which are outlined in the user guide.
