Migrating from SFHA to SFCFS or SFCFS HA 5.1 SP1

This section describes how to migrate Storage Foundation High Availability (SFHA)

5.1 SP1 to Storage Foundation Cluster File System (SFCFS) or Storage Foundation

Cluster File System High Availability (SFCFSHA) 5.1 SP1.

The product installer does not support direct upgrades from a previous version

of SFHA to SFCFS or SFCFSHA5.1 SP1. Ensure that you upgrade the existing SFHA

to 5.1 SP1 before beginning this procedure.

To migrate from SFHA 5.1 SP1 to SFCFS 5.1 SP1 or SFCFS HA 5.1 SP1

Back up the existing SFHA main.cf file before beginning the upgrade.

Confirm that the storage disks are visible on all the nodes in the 5.1 SP1 SFHA

cluster.

Bring all the failover service groups offline, using the following command:

# hagrp -offline group_name -any

The above command brings the service group offline on the node where the

service group is currently online.
