Cluster Offline Upgrade Option
To upgrade a SG SMS CFS/CVM bundle (T2774xx, T2775xx, T2776xx, or T2777xx) there is a
procedure that may work with your configuration to minimize the time that the entire cluster is
offline. This is accomplished by performing an offline upgrade on half of the cluster nodes while
the the remaining nodes are online. Contact HP to determine if this procedure will work for a SG
SMS upgrade you are planning.
Other Supported Bundle Change and Installation Scenarios
• Installing HP Serviceguard Extension for RAC on top of Storage Management Suite bundle
T2776BA is supported.
• Upgrading the previous version of Serviceguard Storage Management Suite bundle T2776BA
plus Serviceguard Extension for RAC A.11.17 to Storage Management Suite bundle T2776BA
plus Serviceguard Extension for RAC A.11.18 is supported. Both the Storage Management
Suite bundle and Serviceguard Extension for RAC must be upgraded at the same time.
Unsupported Bundle Change and Installation Scenarios
• Installing Storage Management Suite on top of HP Serviceguard Extension for RAC is not
supported.
If you have the two as separate products, install the Storage Management Suite bundle
T2776BA first, then install HP Serviceguard Extension for RAC.
• Rolling upgrades of Storage Management Suite bundles, that include Veritas Cluster File
System (CFS) or Veritas Cluster Volume Manager (CVM), are not supported. You must halt
all cluster nodes when upgrading to a new SG SMS CFS version.
• If a SG SMS bundle is installed on your system and you attempt to install or upgrade to an
OE version that includes Serviceguard and Veritas Storage Foundation versions that are not
supported with the SG SMS bundle, the installation will complete, but the Serviceguard
cluster will not start, or you will not be able to access the Veritas volumes. See “HP-UX
Operating Environment Upgrade Limitations” (page 27) for more information.
