Splitting the System

If necessary, you can also completely abort the upgrade process from the Active Upgrade console on the Production Side.

Because the Active Upgrade console itself runs on the Production Side of the system, you need to establish a remote connection to the desktop on the Upgrade Side before you can complete any of these upgrade tasks, as explained in “Connecting to the Desktop on the Upgrade Side” on page 4-6.

Troubleshooting

Connecting to the Desktop on the Upgrade Side

While the system is in split mode, the Active Upgrade console runs on the Production Side of the system. To perform upgrade tasks, you must establish a remote connection to the Upgrade Side.

You can access the Upgrade Side using one of two methods:

Remote KVM

Allows you to control the keyboard, video, and mouse of the Upgrade Side using the Advanced Video Redirection (AVR) feature of the VTM console. You might prefer this option if you require access to the BIOS settings and troubleshooting information that are available in the VTM console.

Remote Desktop

Allows you to control the keyboard, video and mouse of the Upgrade Side through the Windows Remote Desktop component. You might prefer this option if you are more familiar with it, or if it runs faster in your environment.

To use either connection method, click the associated link (Figure 4-1) in the navigation bar of the Active Upgrade console. For more information, see Related Topics.
