Aborting the Upgrade

If necessary, you can abort the Active Upgrade process and restore the system to its original state at any point of the upgrade process prior to committing the upgrade.

!C A U T I O N

You cannot abort the upgrade process after you commit an upgrade because the original state of the system is lost (overwritten) as a result of completing the upgrade process.

When you abort an upgrade, the Active Upgrade console:

Cancels the current Active Upgrade operation.

If applicable (if your system is in the merge state), initiates a system restart. It shuts down the Upgrade Side and restarts the system from the Production Side, which automatically restarts your applications from your original Production Side system disks.

If applicable, reestablishes the mirror of any internal RDR system disk by overwriting the upgraded partner disk with the original partner disk.

If applicable, reestablishes the mirror of any internal RDR data disk by overwriting the stale partner disk with its newer, live partner disk (the disk to which your applications have been writing data throughout the upgrade process).

If applicable, brings the Upgrade Side online to enable fault-tolerant, duplex mode.

To abort an upgrade, click the Abort button on the Active Upgrade page, the Split System page, or the Merge System page.
