Veritas Storage Foundation 5.1 SP1 Cluster File System Installation Guide (5900-1510, April 2011)

To prepare a configuration with VCS agents for an upgrade

List the disk groups on each of the nodes by typing the following command

on each node:

# vxdisk -o alldgs list

The output displays a list of the disk groups that are under VCS control and

the disk groups that are not under VCS control.

Note: The disk groups that are not locally imported are displayed in

parentheses.

If any of the disk groups have not been imported on any node, import them.

For disk groups in your VCS configuration, you can import them on any node.

For disk groups that are not under VCS control, choose an appropriate node

on which to import the disk group. Enter the following command on the

appropriate node:

# vxdg -t import diskgroup

If a disk group is already imported, then recover it by typing the following

command on the node on which it is imported:

# vxrecover -bs

Verify that all the Primary RLINKs are up to date.

# vxrlink -g diskgroup status rlink_name

Note: Do not continue until the Primary RLINKs are up-to-date.

Upgrading the array support

The Storage Foundation 5.1 SP1 release includes all array support in a single

depot, VRTSaslapm. The array support depot includes the array support previously

included in the VRTSvxvm depot. The array support depot also includes support

previously packaged as external array support libraries (ASLs) and array policy

modules (APMs).

See the 5.1 SP1 Hardware Compatibility List for information about supported

arrays.
