Selecting Disks to Upgrade

You can mark each disk as a system disk or a data disk:

System disk

A disk that contains the system or application software you want to upgrade. Only disks marked as System are available to the Upgrade Side while the system is split.

The Active Upgrade console automatically marks some disks as system disks. These mandatory system disks contain either boot files or paging files (virtual memory files) that are currently in use by the running operating system. (For more details, see the mandatory system disk glossary entry.) You cannot change a mandatory system disk to a data disk.

!C A U T I O N

You cannot use a system disk for storing persistent data (for example, database files) related to your critical applications. Any new data written to the original system disk by the Production Side while the system is in split mode is overwritten when you commit the upgrade. (See the Overview for information about the steps of the Active Upgrade process.)

Data disk

A disk that contains persistent data for your critical applications. Any disk marked as Data is available only to the Production Side while the system is split. You cannot upgrade software on a data disk.

(See the prerequisites for the Active Upgrade process for additional restrictions.)
