Rolling upgrade
Metrocluster configurations without Site Aware Disaster Tolerant Architecture (SADTA) feature
configured follow the HP Serviceguard rolling upgrade procedure. The HP Serviceguard
documentation includes rolling upgrade procedures to upgrade the Serviceguard version, the
HP-UX operating environment, as well as other software. This Serviceguard procedure, along with
recommendations, guidelines and limitations, is applicable to upgrading Metrocluster versions that
do not use the SADTA feature. For more information about completing a rolling upgrade of HP
Serviceguard, see the latest edition of Managing Serviceguard, available at http://www.hp.com/
go/hpux-serviceguard-docs —> HP Serviceguard.
Figure 25 is a graphical representation of the procedures to be followed while performing a rolling
upgrade for Metrocluster configurations with and without SADTA.
