cmhaltnode <node_name>

b.Select the SGeRAC bundle T1907BA while upgrading the node to HP-UX 11i v3 1109 HA-OE/DC-OE

3.After upgrading to HP-UX 11i v3 1109 HA-OE/DC-OE, Serviceguard, and SGeRAC A.11.20, you must install Serviceguard A.11.20 patch PHSS_42137 on the upgraded node. This patch allows an upgraded Serviceguard and SGeRAC A.11.20 node to join the existing Serviceguard A.11.19 cluster.

NOTE: If Serviceguard A.11.20 patch PHSS_42137 is not installed on the upgraded Serviceguard and SGeRAC A.11.20 node, it cannot join the existing A.11.19 cluster.

4.Run the following command to join the upgraded Serviceguard and SGeRAC A.11.20 node to the existing Serviceguard A.11.19:

cmrunnode <node_name>

NOTE: Please make sure that Serviceguard Extension for RAC is installed on all the nodes in the cluster and all nodes are up and running before attempting to deploy Oracle RAC in this cluster.

5.Repeat steps 2 to 4 for all the nodes in the cluster to complete the upgrade.

Upgrading from an existing Serviceguard A.11.19 cluster to HP-UX 11i v3 1109 HA-OE/DC-OE along with SGeRAC (Alternative approach)

This is an alternative approach for upgrading from Serviceguard A.11.19 to Serviceguard and SGeRAC A.11.20

1.Perform a rolling upgrade of Serviceguard A.11.19 to HP-UX 11i v3 1109 HA-OE/DC-OE with Serviceguard A.11.20 without selecting the SGeRAC licensed bundle.

2.Install the Serviceguard A.11.20 patch PHSS_42137 on all cluster nodes.

NOTE: If Serviceguard A.11.20 patch PHSS_42137 is not installed on the upgraded Serviceguard A.11.20 node, it cannot join the existing Serviceguard A.11.20 cluster when you install SGeRAC on that node.

3.Use the following steps to perform a rolling upgrade of Serviceguard A.11.20 to include SGeRAC A.11.20 on each node:

On the first node:

a.Halt the node using the following command: cmhaltnode <node_name>

b.Install SGeRAC bundle T1907BA available on the 1109 HA-OE/DC-OE media.

4.Run the following command to join the upgraded node to the cluster: cmrunnode <node_name>

The upgraded Serviceguard and SGeRAC A.11.20 node will be able to join the existing Serviceguard A.11.20 cluster.

NOTE: Please make sure that Serviceguard Extension for RAC is installed on all the nodes in the cluster and all nodes are up and running before attempting to deploy Oracle RAC in this cluster.

5.Repeat steps 3 and 4 for all the nodes in the cluster to complete the upgrade.
