How to upgrade from PowerHA v6.1 to PowerHA v7.1.3

How to upgrade from PowerHA v6.1 to PowerHA v7.1.3


- Add a new "repository disk" to be shared by both sides. (50GB)
[root]# cfgmgr -vl fscsi1
[root]# cfgmgr -vl fscsi3
[root]# chdev -l hdiskpower0 -a pv=yes
[root]# chdev -l hdiskpower1 -a pv=yes
[root]# chdev -l hdiskpower0 -a reserve_policy=no_reserve
[root]# chdev -l hdiskpower1 -a reserve_policy=no_reserve
[root]# lsattr -El hdiskpower0 | grep -e pvid -e reserve_policy; lsattr -El hdiskpower1 | grep -e pvid -e reserve_policy
/usr/sbin/chdev -l fscsi0 -a dyntrk=yes -P
/usr/sbin/chdev -l fcs0 -a tme=yes -P

- Make backup of v6.1 snapshot
/usr/es/sbin/cluster/utilities/clsnapshot -c -i -n"HA61_`hostname`_`date +%Y%m%d`" -d "HA61_`hostname`_`date +%Y%m%d`"

- Remove ifix and PowerHA v6.1
 INUCLIENTS=1 chroot /alt_inst /usr/sbin/installp -ugX cluster*

- Make the host file.
add node1, node2, service_ip.
drop bootup ip, admin ip, persistent ip.

- upgrade to AIX v6.1 TL9 SP03.
alt_rootvg_op -C -b update_all -I agXY -l /tmp/pm2014-2/AIX6100-09-03 -V

- upgrade to PowerHA v7.1.3
alt_rootvg_op -C -I acgXY -l /tmp/1.POWERHA71_REQ -w all -V
alt_rootvg_op -C -I acgXY -l /tmp/2.POWERHA71-03-00 -w all -V
alt_rootvg_op -C -b update_all -I agXY -l /tmp/pm2014-2/3.POWERHA71-03-01 -w all -V
- Reboot from upgraded alter disk.

- Confirm file sets.
[root]# lslpp -h cluster.es.server.rte → 7.1.3.1
[root]# lslpp -l | grep rsct.core.utils → 3.1.5.7
[root]# lslpp -l | grep bos.cluster.rte  → 6.1.9.15
[root]# lslpp -l | grep bos.cluster.solid → 6.1.8.15
[root]# lslpp -l | grep ahafs → 6.1.9.15

- add node1, node2 to /etc/cluster/rhosts

- add gateway ip address to /usr/es/sbin/cluster/netmon.cf.
