HP Serviceguard for Linux Base Version 12.00.00 Release Notes, May 2014

6. Upgrade all the RPMs. For example, to upgrade Serviceguard Manager RPM using Zypper:
#zypper -n upgrade serviceguard-manager
IMPORTANT: After the Serviceguard Manager RPM upgrade is complete, you need to follow
the procedure described later in this section to start sgmgr service and also create a user
which can be used as a replicated user for multi-cluster management. For more information
about how to create a replicated user, see “Installing HP Serviceguard for Linux the traditional
way”.
7. Restart cluster on first node.
For example, # cmrunnode -n node1
Check that the node joins the cluster successfully, and if necessary, move packages back to
the node.
8. Repeat steps from 2 to 7 for all the nodes.
7.6.2 Rolling upgrade from A.11.19.X to A.12.00.00
To perform the rolling upgrade from A.11.19.X to A.12.00.00:
1. Enable global switching for packages running on node 1.
The cmmodpkg command enables switching of the package.
For example, #cmmodpkg -e pkg1
2. Halt first node.
Halt the node you want to upgrade. This results in the node's packages to start up on an
adoptive node. The Serviceguard daemon on node 1 is halted.
For example, # cmhaltnode -f node1
3. Uninstall sg_pidentd rpm.
CAUTION: Serviceguard commands will not work unless step 5 is complete. You cannot
change the cluster configuration files until the process of upgrade is complete on all nodes.
For example, #rpm -e --nodeps sg_pidentd-3.0.19-2
Note: This step is applicable only on Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
4. Install authd rpm from the Linux Distribution DVD or Repository.
For example, #rpm -i <authd rpm>
Note: This step is applicable only on Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
5. Upgrade serviceguard-license before you upgrade to Serviceguard. For example,
#rpm -Uvh serviceguard-license-A.12.00.00-0.rhel5.x86_64.rpm
6. Upgrade node 1 in the same order as described in the “Packaging information”.
For example, Serviceguard rpm for Red Hat 5 x86_64
#rpm –Uvh serviceguard-A.12.00.00-0.rhel5.x86_64.rpm
NOTE: You can use YUM or Zypper to perform rolling upgrade from A.11.19.X to
A.12.00.00. For more information about how to upgrade using YUM or Zypper, see
“Upgrading HP Serviceguard for Linux using YUM or Zypper”.
