Perform this task after you have completed upgrade
tasks up to including running the upgradesys command,
but just before running the cluster_config utility.
Follow this procedure to populate the external
device MAC address field in the database for client nodes with external
connections. These MAC addresses are required by the upgrade process
to ensure that the external device information is populated correctly
in the database and that all external interfaces work properly after
the upgrade.
Run the following device_config command to set the external device MAC address
in the database for a specific node. Use the MAC addresses you obtained
in “Required Task: Determine MAC Addresses For Client Nodes With
External Devices”.
# cd /opt/hptc/config/sbin
# ./device_config --type E MAC_address --host host_name |
Run a similar device_config command for every node that has an external connection.
Verify that the MAC addresses
have been populated in the database:
# shownode config | grep -A 3 External: |
