Splitting the System
Managing Your Applications on the Production Side
While the system is split, you can continue to access and use your applications on the Production Side; however, you must avoid doing any of the following on the Production Side desktop:
•Installing or upgrading software.
•Creating or modifying any files on the system disk, including the system registry.
•Restarting the operating system.
!C A U T I O N
Any changes you make to files on the Production Side system disks are lost during the commit process, because the system overwrites these system disks (which contain the old version of your software) with the newer Upgrade Side disks to complete the upgrade. If you need to preserve files from the original system disks, you can save them to a data disk.
N O T E
Be careful when switching between the Production Side desktop and the remote connection to the Upgrade Side desktop. When you resume software installation or restart the system, always ensure that you are on the Upgrade Side.
