Preparing to upgrade the Veritas software
Ensure that you have made backups of all data that you want to preserve. In
particular, you will need the information in files such as /etc/fstab. You should
also run the vxlicrep, vxdisk list, and vxprint -ht commands, and record the
output from these. You may need this information to reconfigure your system
after the upgrade.
If you are upgrading an HA cluster, follow the guidelines given in the Veritas
Cluster Server (VCS) Installation Guide for information on preserving your VCS
configuration across the upgrade procedure. In particular, you should take care
to make backups of configuration files, such as main.cf and types.cf, in the
/etc/VRTSvcs/conf/config directory. Additional configuration files, such as
OracleTypes.cf, may also be present in this directory if you have installed any
VCS agents. You should also back up these files.
