Understanding the Active Upgrade Console Interface

You can click Active Upgrade to perform a readiness check, and, if you are still modifying a configuration file, you can click any page in the Configuration section to go back and make additional changes.

After you initiate an upgrade session (by clicking Split on the Active Upgrade page), the navigation bar reverts to a static mode, in which it only indicates where you are in the upgrade process and does not allow you to skip between pages. At that point, you use the controls in the main window to complete the upgrade process.

The pages in the Active Upgrade section of the navigation bar have the following purposes:

Active Upgrade — Allows you to perform a readiness test, and if applicable, to split the system for an upgrade.

Split System — Indicates that the system is entering split mode, and allows you to merge system resources (or abort the upgrade) after you finish running installation packages.

Merge System — Indicates that the system is entering merge mode, and allows you to commit (or abort) the upgrade after you have tested your changes.

Commit Upgrade — Indicates that the system is committing the upgrade, and allows you to finish the process by cleaning up system resources.

Abort Upgrade — Indicates that the upgrade process has been aborted, and allows you to finish the process by cleaning up system resources. (You can abort the upgrade process at any point prior to committing the upgrade.)

Finish — Indicates that the upgrade process is complete and allows you to save a copy of the activity log to a file, start another upgrade, or exit the Active Upgrade console.

The navigation bar also contains the Links shown in Figure 2-7, which are active only while the system is running in split mode.
