Hi, Is NDU from 7.3.5.1P3 to 8.1RC2 supported? we are planning to hot swap out the 8.1RC2 incompatible ESH2 modules in our 3270 cluster (8 of them) then proceed with a Non-disruptive Upgrade (NDU) from the current 7.3.5.1P3 to 8.1RC2.
What will the clients see during cluster head failover? Should we shutdown virtualmachines? Oracle?
Where is the current NDU doc? Any other gotchas for this kind of upgrade?
thanks
Hi,
we updated our Filer (FAS 3240) from 7.3.X to 8.02PX, with no Problems. 8.02P5 works fine, any reason for you to install 8.1RC2? I suggest to update to 8.1RC2, because i want to connect a LTO4 Library directly to Filer (SAS), which is supported on 8.1.During the giveback, we have a 20-30 sec network timeout, which was no Problem for our VM's (Vmware/NFS). Not a single VM crashed (e.g. DB/WEB Server).I customized the timeout settings of VMware, too. For copying Volumes, i use ndmpcopy (e.g. the new root Volume), which works without Problems. There are some changes with Interface Groups (rc), but it seems that vif is a symlink to ifgrp, for example
:
OLD:
vif create single vif1 e0a e0b
vif favor e0b
NEW:
ifgrp create single vif1 e1b e1a
ifgrp favor e1a
greets and good Luck!
Steffen
