Migration Scenario 1:

HA/F100 with Windows NTS/E to HA/F100 with Windows

2000 Advanced Server

The migration of HA/F100 with Windows NTS/E to HA/F100 with Windows 2000 Advanced

Server can be performed while keeping your cluster online (a rolling upgrade) provided that the

firmware levels of all RA4000 controllers are at the same level and v2.58 or later.

IMPORTANT: Back up all data before beginning the migration process.

IMPORTANT: Prior to beginning this migration, both nodes running Windows NTS/E must

have Service Pack 6a for Windows NTS/E installed.

The basic steps to this rolling upgrade include:

1. Verify the Controller Firmware Levels

2. Move all cluster resources over to node 2

3. Remove any cluster fixes that may be installed

4. Run Compaq Primer Utility

5. Apply Service Pack 6a on node 1 again

6. Upgrade the operating system and drivers on node 1

7. Move all cluster resources back to node 1

8. Upgrade the operating system and drivers on node 2

To migrate your cluster, follow these steps:

1. Migration of Node 1 Cluster

a. Move all of the cluster groups, including the cluster group, to Node 2 using the

Cluster Administrator Utility.

b. Open Cluster Administrator by clicking Start, Programs, Administrative Tools,

Cluster Administrator.

c. Referring to the following screen shot, right click on “Cluster Group” and select

“Move Group”.

d. Repeat steps b & c until all Resource Groups listed in the Cluster Administrator

display have been moved to Node 2, called TEST2 in the sample screen shot.

Note: For help on moving cluster groups, refer to the Microsoft clustering documentation that

came with your operating system.
