Requirements
HP recommends that you read these HP Serviceguard Storage
Management Suite Release Notes and any other related Installation
Guides, Release Notes, Read Before Installing Guides, or READMEs
before beginning an installation. Requirements and known issues for
individual products included in the HP Serviceguard Storage
Management Suite (SG SMS) bundles are documented in their
respective Release Notes. See “Documentation for this Version” on
page 15 for information on SG SMS related documentation.
Upgrading to a Different SG SMS Bundle
Upgrades to HP Serviceguard Storage Management Suite (SG SMS)
bundles can fall into any one of three categories:
• Rolling Upgrade - The upgrade is done online
• Offline Upgrade - The cluster nodes must be taken offline and all
nodes must be upgraded with the same SG SMS bundle - for an
alternative offline upgrade procedure that minimizes downtime, see
“Cluster Offline Upgrade Option” on page 23.
• Uninstall - The SG SMS bundle must be uninstalled before the
upgraded SG SMS bundle can be installed, then the software must
be reconfigured (the cluster must also be reconfigured, if a CFS/CVM
bundle is installed).
NOTE Note: If there is a cluster configured on a node, the swremove command
will not let you remove SG SMS from that node. You must remove the
node from the cluster, then use swremove to remove SG SMS.
