Compatibility Information and Installation 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 Table 1-2 (page 16)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” (page 18).
• 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.
NOTE: Before attempting a SG SMS bundle installation or upgrade, you must disable
AUTOSTART_CMCLD on all Serviceguard cluster nodes.
To disable AUTOSTART_CMCLD on all Serviceguard cluster nodes, access the/etc/rc.cofig.d/
cmcluster file and set AUTOSTART_CMCLD to 0, (AUTO_START_CMCLD=0).
To re-enable Automatic startup (AUTOSTART_CMCLD) after completing your SG SMS bundle
installation or upgrade, set the flag AUTOSTART_CMCLD to 1 in the /etc/rc.config.d/
cmcluster file (AUTO_START_CMCLD=1)
For more information on AUTOSTART_CMCLD, see the Setting up Autostart Features and Performing
a Rolling Upgrade sections in Managing Serviceguard, 15th Edition, available at http://docs.hp.com
> High Availability > Serviceguard.
