Serviceguard Extension for RAC Version A.11.19 Release Notes, October 2009 (T1907-90051)

If, after reading and understanding the restrictions, you decide to perform a non-rolling
upgrade using DRD, follow the instructions under “Performing a Non-Rolling Upgrade
Using DRD” (page 25).
Restrictions for DRD Upgrades
• Upgrade using DRD is supported only on HP-UX 11i v3.
• As of the date of these release notes, the only paths that are supported for DRD
upgrade are:
— from Serviceguard/SGeRAC version A.11.18 with patch PHSS_37602 (or a
later cumulative patch) to A.11.19 or an A.11.19 patch release
— from Serviceguard/SGeRAC version A.11.19 to an A.11.19 patch release.
IMPORTANT: Upgrades from earlier releases via DRD are not currently
supported.
Upgrades to version A.11.19 require that you make a manual fix to a
checkinstall script in the software depot.
For instructions, see the Workaround Notes for defect QXCR1000906197 at
ITRC.hp.com; see “Patches and Fixes in this Version” (page 27) for more
information about looking up defects.
• As of the date of these release notes, DRD upgrade is supported for clusters that
use the LVM or VxVM volume manager.
IMPORTANT: See the HP Serviceguard Storage Management Suite A.03.00 Release
Notes for information about DRD upgrades in CVM/CFS environments.
• Use the DRD software released with the September 2009 release of HP-UX 11i v3
or later.
You do not have to upgrade the operating system itself to the September 2009
release, so long as you are running 11i v3. You can obtain the DRD software free
from HP (see “Upgrade Using DRD” above.)
• Serviceguard does not support booting from a clone disk made on another system
(sometimes referred to as DRD re-hosting).
• The cluster must meet both general and release-specific requirements for a rolling
or non-rolling upgrade, as spelled out in this section and in Appendix A of the
latest edition of Using Serviceguard Extension for RAC.
• You must follow the instructions for DRD upgrades under “Performing a Rolling
Upgrade Using DRD” (page 22) or “Performing a Non-Rolling Upgrade Using
DRD” (page 25).
