Upgrading the Dataless Nodes

To upgrade the dataless nodes, remove the Foundation Services 2.1 packages and then install the patches and packages required for the Foundation Services 2.1 6/03 release, as described in the following sections:

Upgrading the Patches

Install the patches required for Foundation Services 2.1 6/03.

ProcedureTo Upgrade the Patches

  1. Log in to a dataless node as superuser.

  2. Install the following new patches.

    To know which versions of these patches to install, see the Netra High Availability Suite Foundation Services 2.1 6/03 README.

    • If you are running Solaris 8, install the following patch:

      # patchadd -M /NetraHASuite/Patches/ 108727

    • If you are running Solaris 9, install the following patches:

      # patchadd -M /NetraHASuite/Patches/ 112233
      # patchadd -M /NetraHASuite/Patches/ 113318

  3. Repeat Step 1 through Step 2 on each dataless node.

Upgrading the Packages

To upgrade the packages, you remove the Foundation Services 2.1 packages and then install the new Foundation Services 2.1 6/03 packages.

ProcedureTo Upgrade the Packages

  1. Log in to a dataless node as superuser.

  2. Remove all the local Foundation Services 2.1 packages.

    Use the list generated by the nhadm tool in To Check the Dataless Nodes. For example:

    # pkgrm SUNWnhtp9 SUNWnhtu9 SUNWnhadm SUNWnhcdt SUNWnhcmd SUNWnhcma  \
    SUNWnhcmb SUNWnhpma SUNWnhpmb SUNWnhpmn SUNWnhpms SUNWnhmas SUNWnhsms \
    SUNWnhwdt

  3. Remove all the shared Foundation Services 2.1.

    Use the list generated by the nhadm tool in To Check the Dataless Nodes. For example:

    # pkgrm -R /SUNWcgha/local/export/services SUNWjdrt SUNWnhmaj \
    SUNWnhmal SUNWnhmad

  4. Install the new and updated local packages, for example:

    # pkgadd -d /NetraHASuite/Packages SUNWnhtp9 SUNWnhtu9 SUNWnhadm SUNWnhhb \
    SUNWnhcdt SUNWnhcmd SUNWnhcma  SUNWnhcmb  SUNWnhpma SUNWnhpmb \
    SUNWnhpmn SUNWnhpms SUNWnhpmm SUNWnhmas SUNWnhsms SUNWnhwdt

    These new packages are installed:

    • SUNWnhpmm includes the Daemon Monitor driver files

    • SUNWnhhb includes the Probe heartbeat module

  5. Reinstall the shared packages delivered with Foundation Services 2.1 6/03:

    # pkgadd -d /NetraHASuite/Packages/ \
    -M -R /SUNWcgha/local/export/services \
    -a none SUNWjdrt SUNWnhmaj SUNWnhmal SUNWnhmad

  6. Repeat Step 1 through Step 5 on each dataless node.

Updating the Configuration Files

Update the configuration files on each dataless node.

ProcedureTo Update the Configuration Files

  1. Log in to a master-eligible node as superuser.

  2. Update the /etc/opt/SUNWcgha/nhfs.conf file.

    The following parameters are new:

    • Mandatory new parameters:

      WATCHDOG.NhasWatchdog if using the Watchdog Timer

    • Optional new parameters:

      WATCHDOG.ShutDownTimeout if using the Watchdog Timer

      WATCHDOG.OsTimeout if using the Watchdog Timer

      WATCHDOG.PattingIntvl if using the Watchdog Timer

    For information about configuring these new parameters, see the nhfs.conf(4) man page.

  3. Create a /etc/hostname.cgtp0 file.

    In this file, type the cluster network name of the dataless node on the cgtp0 interface, for example, netraMEN1-cgtp.

  4. If you are using the Watchdog Timer, delete the /etc/opt/SUNWcgha/nhwdt.conf file.

  5. Repeat Step 1 through Step 4 on each dataless node in the cluster.
