Performing a Rolling Upgrade

Before you perform a rolling upgrade:

•Ensure that your cluster nodes are running Windows 2000 Advanced Server.

•Backup your data and system states.

•Run the Check System Compatibility Wizard to determine if your cluster nodes are configured with the appropriate resources to run Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition.

•Ensure that your cluster service account user privileges are set to Act as part of operating system.

Upgrading Node 1

1Click the Start button and select Programs→ Administrative Tools→ Cluster Administrator.

2In Cluster Administrator, click one of the nodes in the cluster. The following steps refer to the node you selected as node 1.

3Right-click a node and then click Pause.

4Right-click a cluster group and then click Move Group. The Cluster Group is moved and restarted on node 2.

5Repeat step 4 for the remaining cluster groups.

6Insert the Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition CD into the CD drive.

7Double-click Install Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition. The Windows Setup Wizard window appears.

8Follow the instructions in the Windows Setup Wizard to upgrade your operating system.

NOTE: If you are running IIS World Wide Web Publishing service on your cluster node, this service is disabled during the upgrade to protect your system.

9Verify that the upgraded node is functioning correctly.

a Click the Start button and select Programs→ Administrative Tools→ Cluster Administrator.

b Move one or more cluster resource groups from node 2. c Verify that the resource group(s) can be brought online. d Close Cluster Administrator.

10Remove the Enterprise Edition CD from the CD drive.

11Go to "Upgrading Node 2."

NOTE: After you upgrade node 1, your cluster is running two separate operating systems. Dell recommends that you do not modify your cluster configuration—such as adding or removing cluster nodes or resources—until you upgrade both cluster nodes.
