Migration Scenario 5:

HA/F100 Windows NTS/E to HA/F200 Windows NTS/E

The Migration of HA/F100 Windows NTS/E to HA/F200 Windows NTS/E cannot be performed

as a rolling upgrade. The cluster must be shut down causing the cluster to be unavailable to

clients during the migration.

IMPORTANT: Back up all data before beginning the migration

process.

The basic steps to this upgrade include:

1. Upgrade the operating system drivers

2. Install Compaq Redundancy Manager

3. Adding redundant loop hardware

4. Update the RA4000 Controller firmware

5. Install the latest Microsoft Service Packs

To migrate from HA/F100 Windows NTS/E to HA/F200 Windows NTS/E, use the following

steps:

1. Install the latest drivers and server support software by running the Compaq Server

Support Software (SSD) for Windows NT on both nodes:

a. Insert the SmartStart CD and select Start and then Run.

b. In the dialog box that displays, type “X:\cpqsupsw\ntssd\setup.exe” where “X” is

the drive letter associated with your CD-ROM drive.

Note: You can also acquire the latest Compaq Support Paq from the Compaq website

(http://www.compaq.com/support).

c. After the installation is completed, the Compaq Server Support Software window

will show the drivers that were updated and the drivers that were not installed

due to a current version of the driver on the node or due to a lack of hardware on

the node.

2. Install Windows NT Service Pack 6a on both nodes.

3. Install the Compaq Redundancy Manager on both nodes.

a. Place the Compaq Redundancy Manager (Fibre Channel) CD in the CD-ROM

drive. It automatically loads the Install program.

b. Follow the instructions offered by the Redundancy Manager installation screens.
