Troubleshooting

Splitting the System

Splitting an Express5800/320Fc system divides it into two independently-functioning systems: the Production Side, which continues to run your applications, and the Upgrade Side, which you can safely upgrade.

Splitting the system:

Disables RDR mirroring between the internal disks in each CPU- I O enclosure.

Isolates the Upgrade Side from system resources such as the network, any user-specified application data disks, and any external PCI resources.

Disables any user-specified applications and services on the Upgrade Side so they cannot restart if you restart the operating system on the Upgrade Side.

Queues any ActiveService Network alerts generated on the Upgrade Side until the system is merged.

You can split a system only if it meets the prerequisites for the Active Upgrade process and has passed the readiness check.

N O T E S

1.When in split mode, the Upgrade Side has no access to the network. If you need a network resource to obtain any software installation packages you intend to run, transfer the software to the system before you initiate split mode. Furthermore, put the software on one of the system disks, because these are the only disks you can access on the Upgrade Side while the system is in split mode.
