Upgrading the System Software Using the Safe Upgrade and Rollback Features

Upgrading from Software to a UP While an RP is Operational (Rollback)

Newer versions than 2.1 and greater allow you to install the system software to a UP while an RP is operational. This is done using /usr/os/sbin/install-cos. Install-cos can install to either part 1 or 2 of the disk. You can run install-cos while the system is booted from the install server or the system is running off the disk.

Manual background!Manual background CAUTION:

Caution: Reboot into the UP first, making sure the UP is working, then upgrade within the UP, leaving the good RP alone.

To install to the UP of your system while the system is running with the RP:

1.Enter the following command:

/usr/os/sbin/install-cos -p 2 <release directory>

2.Manually configure the UP identically to the RP (System configuration and applications).

3.Switch to the RP and upgrade the RP.

4.If upgrades work correctly you are done. If, however, the upgrades fail, reboot the system. By default the system boots with the functional UP.
