(11) Verifying preparation
Before you start configuring the Active Upgrade process on your system, considering the following items:
• Did you decide the IP address for the Active Upgrade?
This IP address should be the same network address that is allocated to duplexed LAN and should be a new
one.
• After you complete this upgrade, will you ever want to run the same type of upgrade again?
Save the configuration file so that you can use it again at a later upgrade process.
• Do you intend to incorporate other existing configuration files into the current configuration?
You can use more than one configuration file at a time by nesting them.
• Which disks in your system contain the software you want to upgrade?
• Is there any disk that cannot or should not be upgraded?
See Chapter 2 (1.5.3 (3) Preparing for the Active Upgrade Process).
• Did you prepare the software upgrade packages you are going to run during the Active Upgrade process?
You need to copy the software upgrade package to the system before initiating split mode.
• Do any of software upgrade packages require access to the network or data disks during the upgrade?
If so, you cannot use them with Active Upgrade process.
• How do you start and stop applications on the system you want to upgrade?
Use Application Services or Custom Actions (executables such as .bat, .exe, .vbs) to start and stop your
applications at the appropriate times during the upgrade process. See Chapter 2 (1.5.2 (4) Managing
Applications during the Upgrade Process) for details.
• Do you want to preserve event log entries that are generated on the Production Side while the system is
running in split mode?
These log entries are lost during the commit process, when the system resynchronizes RDR disks. If you
want to save the files, see Chapter 2 (1.5.3 (6) Selecting Event Log Files to Back Up).
When you finish confirmation, you can use the worksheet on the next page to record your configuration
information.
