Splitting the System

If the split process fails the first time, you can click Retry to try again. If the problem persists, you can click Abort to abort the upgrade process, or see Troubleshooting for information about resolving the problem.

When the system is split, you can:

•Manage upgrade tasks on the Upgrade Side.

•Manage your applications on the Production Side.

•Verify the Upgrade Side before merging the system.

(To perform upgrade tasks, you must establish a remote connection to the Upgrade Side, as explained in “Managing Upgrade Tasks on the Upgrade Side” on page 4-5.)

After you establish a connection to the Upgrade Side, you can optionally check the status of your application services on the Upgrade Side, to verify that they have been stopped by the Active Upgrade console. See “Verifying the Status of Application Services” on page 5-2.
