LVM/VxVM and vPars sx2000 Upgrade

16
PROCEDURE B
This is for a nPartition that contains virtual partitions and the first vPar boots on a VxVM configuration. Other vPars within the nPartition
may boot on an LVM or VxVM configuration.
PRE-UPGRADE STEPS
1. For each virtual partition that has an LVM boot configuration, perform the following steps:
1.1. Save the LVM root volume group configuration. The map and Physical Volumes files must be created in the / directory, so that
they can be accessed while in LVM maintenance mode boot:
# vgexport -m /mapfile.vg00 –p -f /pvs.vg00 /dev/vg00
vgexport: Volume group "/dev/vg00" is still active.
1.2. Backup the original ioconfig files:
# cp /etc/ioconfig /etc/ioconfig.bckup
# cp /stand/ioconfig /stand/ioconfig.bckup
1.3. Update the ioconfig file using the executable found on the CD::
# <path>/sanddune_upgrade.ia64 -w /etc/ioconfig
# <path>/sanddune_upgrade.ia64 -w /stand/ioconfig
1.4. If this virtual partition is running X.25, update the X.25 configuration using the executable found on the CD:
# <path>/x25_pci2pcix_hwpath_upgrade.script -w /etc/sync_wan/config.db
1.5. Shutdown and halt this virtual partition:
# reboot –sh
1.6. Go back to 1.1. for the next virtual partition booting on LVM.
2. For each virtual partition that has a VxVM boot configuration, perform the following steps:
2.1. Backup the original ioconfig files:
# cp /etc/ioconfig /etc/ioconfig.bckup
# cp /stand/ioconfig /stand/ioconfig.bckup
2.2. Update the ioconfig file:
# <path>/sanddune_upgrade.ia64 -w /etc/ioconfig
# <path>/sanddune_upgrade.ia64 -w /stand/ioconfig
2.3. If this virtual partition is running X.25, update the X.25 configuration using the executable found on the CD:
# <path>/x25_pci2pcix_hwpath_upgrade.script -w /etc/sync_wan/config.db
2.4. Shutdown and halt this virtual partition:
# reboot –sh
2.5. Go back to 2.1 for the next virtual partition booting on VxVM.
3. On the console, at the vPars Monitor prompt, reboot the Monitor into nPars mode:
MON> reboot nPars
Resetting the system
4. Perform the pre-upgrade steps for next nPartition (Note: this could be a different procedure).
