HP StorageWorks Clustered Gateway (server/software bundle) 3.6.0 Windows Storage Server Edition Upgrade Guide (5697-7456, April 2008)

Upgrade procedure

Supported Upgrades

This guide provides procedures for upgrading from HP Clustered

Gateway 3.4.0 (32-bit) for Windows to HP Clustered Gateway 3.6.0 (64-

bit) for Windows.

Upgrade Considerations

Several product changes in HP Clustered File System 3.6.0 affect the

upgrade procedure. Be sure to review the following information before

starting the upgrade.

NOTE: Do not make configuration changes until the upgrade to 3.6 is

complete; otherwise, before the upgrade is complete, use the 3.4

user interface if you need to perform basic operations such as

failing over.

Upgrade All Servers As Quickly As Possible

It is important to upgrade all nodes in the cluster within a short time

frame. HP does not recommend running the cluster for an extended

period of time with only some of the nodes upgraded to 3.6.0. This release

introduces a new configuration data repository and a new logging facility

that do not become fully functional until all nodes are upgraded.
