Upgrade Installation Procedure

The chapter describes the procedures you follow when you are upgrading from a previous Solaris version of Cisco StrataView Plus (8.4.06 or later, or 9.1 or later) to Cisco WAN Manager (CWM) 9.2 The procedure for saving the Informix OnLine database is also provided in this chapter.

Note Prior to installing CWM 9.2, you must have Sun's Solaris 2.6 and optionally, Hewlett Packard's OpenView 5.01 installed on your workstation. You may also need to customize the set up of the raw partition size for Informix OnLine. For limited instructions on installing the Solaris 2.6 and partitioning your disk for Informix OnLine, see Appendix A, as well as the Sun Installation Guide. For instructions on installing HP OpenView, refer to the HP OpenView Installation Guide.

When Solaris 2.6 and HP OpenView 5.01 are already installed on your machine and your disk is partitioned to your satisfaction, you are ready to proceed to "Upgrading from StrataView Plus 8.4 or 9.1 to Cisco WAN Manager 9.2". It is assumed you already have access to a CD-ROM device. If not, see Section, "Installing the Cisco WAN Manager 9.2 Software" in Chapter 2 for detailed instructions on how to load and mount the CD-ROM.

Exporting the Current Informix OnLine Database

This section describes how to save a copy of the current database using the Informix OnLine dbexport command. Refer to Informix OnLine documentation for information about the dbexport command

Note We recommend you do not create the directory you are going to save the Informix OnLine database to under the /usr/user directory.

Step 1 Log in as user svplus.

Step 2 Stop CWM core processes

Step 3 Create a directory to save the Informix OnLine database to, and change its permissions as follows:
host% mkdir <save_database_directory>
host% chmod 777 <save_database_directory>

Step 4 Change directory to the <save_database_directory> directory:
host% cd <save_database_directory>

Step 5 Log in as user informix.

Step 6 Verify enough disk space is available for the Informix OnLine database:
host% onstat -d

Step 7 Invoke the dbexport command:
host% dbexport -o <save_database_directory> <database_name>

We recommend you use the name you assigned to the database during the INSTALL script as the <database_name> name. The default name in the INSTALL script was stratacom.

Step 8 To save the database residing in <save_database_directory> to a tape mounted on the /dev/rmt/0 drive:
host% tar cvf /dev/rmt/0 <save_database_directory>

The Informix OnLine database is now saved to a safe location.

Upgrading from StrataView Plus 8.4 or 9.1 to Cisco WAN Manager 9.2

To upgrade to CWM 9.2 complete the folloowing steps:

Step 1 If currently running, stop the Cisco StrataView Plus program.

You must save the current data base at a safe location before you do an upgrade to 9.2 from 9.1 or 8.4 using the dbexport. Refer to the next section "Exporting the Current Informix OnLine Database" in this chapter.

Step 2 Install Sun' Solaris 2.6 OS.

Step 3 When the CD-ROM drive is not already mounted, or you are not running the Volume Manager with Solaris on a Sun SPARC system, at the command line prompt, type:
host# volcheck

Step 4 Insert the CWM Release 9.2 CD into the CD-ROM drive.

Step 5 Do a Auto Install or a Manual Install for CWM 9.2.

Step 6 Upon successful completion of the installation of the CWM 9.2 package files, type:
host# cd /usr/users/svplus

Step 7 Invoke the CWM 9.2 installation command:

host# ./INSTALL

(1) NEW         (Release 9.2 of SV+)
(2) UPGRADE     (From previous release of SV+)
Enter number corresponding to installation type of x to exit:
 
Enter "1"
Checking existing partition....................... Successful
Available partitions (Solaris):
 ================================
        /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s1
        /dev/rdsk/c0t1d0s1
< Could be some more disk partition information displayed>
<......>
Checking Hard Disk count.......................... Successful
Disk Configuration Migration to SV+ 9.2
1) Single Raw Database Disk
2) Multiple Raw Database Disk
Enter number corresponding to disk configuration or x to exit: 1 <Return>
Enter Raw Partition Name for rootdb (default: not configured):
Enter <the disk partition where database will reside>

Step 8 Now we need to do a dbimport from where ever we stored our database in step 2.

To do this do a su - informix

Then invoke the Informix command

host% dbimport <database name> -t <tape device>

Now you have the data back in the database, Now we need to perform an Upgrade of the Database.

Step 9 Invoke the CWM 9.2 installation command:
host# ./INSTALL

(1) NEW         (Release 9.2 of SV+)
(2) UPGRADE     (From previous release of SV+)
Enter number corresponding to installation type of x to exit:
 
Enter "2"
Supported Upgrade Path for SV+ Release 9.2
       -------------------------------------------------------
       (1) From 8.4.06 (Solaris)
       (2) From 9.0.03 (Solaris)
Enter number corresponding to upgrade path or x to exit:

Step 10 Enter "1" if from 8.4.xx. Enter "2" if upgrading from 9.0.03 or later releases.

Checking existing partition....................... Successful
Available partitions (Solaris):
 ================================
        /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s1
        /dev/rdsk/c0t1d0s1
< Could be some more disk partition information displayed>
<......>
Checking Hard Disk count.......................... Successful
Disk Configuration Migration to SV+ 9.2
1) Single Raw Database Disk
2) Multiple Raw Database Disk
Enter number corresponding to disk configuration or x to exit: 1 <Return>
Enter Raw Partition Name for rootdb (default: not configured):
Enter <the disk partition where database will reside>

Step 11 You are now finished installing the CWM 9.2 release. Remove the CWM 9.2 CD from the CD-ROM device.

Step 12 Go to Chapter 5 for detailed information on how to configure and invoke the
CWM 9.2 product.

Note The gateway node name used in Chapter 5 must be the same one used in the previous release.
