This section describes the steps you must perform before upgrading
from an earlier version of VSE Management Software to version A.04.00.07.
This process converts an existing VSE Management Software database,
including historical profile data, to the new version database format.
Any historical profile data that you want to migrate to the new database
format must be installed in the currently running installation on
the CMS. | | | |  | IMPORTANT: Starting with VSE Management Software version 4.0 (A.04.00.07.xx), licenses for VSE Management Software are now managed
in the HP SIM License Manager database on the CMS. When you upgrade
an HP-UX CMS that has a previous version of the VSE Management Software
installed, any product licenses that were previously installed or
scanned are automatically migrated to the License Manager database.
For more information about migrating previous licenses to the new
license model, see vselicense(1M) and the VSE Management Software Version 4.0 Getting Started Guide. | | | | |
Make a backup. The upgrade process is
not reversible. It can only be undone by removing version A.04.00.07 and
reinstalling the older version. Make a backup of your VSE Management
Software database before upgrading the software, in case you need
to revert to the previous version. You can use this backup to restore
your current configuration after reverting to the previous version
of the software. Use Procedure 3-5 to prepare for the upgrade. Procedure 3-5 Prepare for VSE Management Software Upgrade If you are using gWLM, undeploy all
shared resource domains (SRDs) and stop using the existing version,
including the command-line interface. You can continue running the
gWLM daemons (gwlmcmsd and gwlmagent) and the WBEM service and provider daemons. Stop
using the version of Capacity Advisor that is already installed, including
the command-line interface. If necessary, use the following substeps
to disable each automatically scheduled Capacity Advisor data collection
task: Select Tasks & Logs View All Scheduled
Tasks from the Capacity Advisor menu bar. Select
the task from the list Collect Capacity Advisor Data. Click Edit. Click Schedule. Check
the Disable this task check box. Click Done. Verify
that the task you just edited is in the list and now shows Task is Disabled in the Schedule column.
Log
out of HP SIM. (Optional) Use the capcollect command
to collect the latest Capacity Advisor data into the VSE Management
Software database. For more information, see capcollect(1M). Make a backup. Make a backup of your existing
VSE Management Software database. You can use this backup if you need
to revert to the older version of the software. With this backup,
you can restore your current configuration after reverting to the
older version of the software. You cannot restore this backup after
version A.04.00.07 is installed. Previous versions of the VSE Management
Software used a database format that is incompatible with version A.04.00.07. For more information about backing up and restoring
the VSE Management Software database and reverting to a backup from
a previous version of the software, see vseinitconfig(1M). This manpage is included in this manual in Appendix A. For information about backing up the HP SIM database,
refer to the HP white paper Backing up and restoring HP
Systems Insight Manager data files in an HP-UX or Linux environment, available from the Information Library link
at http://hp.com/go/hpsim. If
you are upgrading to a new version of HP SIM, follow any upgrade preparation
instructions provided with the new version of HP SIM. In particular,
note that you might need to install additional patches.
After you complete the installation steps in
the following sections, see “After Upgrading from a Previous Version” for additional steps that you should
perform. |
