Upgrade Installation Procedures

Upgrade Installation Procedures

The chapter describes the procedures you follow when you are upgrading from a previous Solaris version of StrataView Plus (8.4.06 or later, or 9.0.03 or later) to Cisco StrataView Plus (SV+) 9.1 The procedure for saving the Informix OnLine database is also provided in this chapter.


Note Prior to installing Cisco SV+ 9.1, you must have Sun's Solaris 2.5.1 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 2.5.1 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 2.5.1 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 9.0 to StrataView Plus 9.1". It is assumed you already have access to a CD-ROM device. If not, see "Installing the Cisco StrataView Plus 9.1 Software" in Chapter 2 for detailed instructions on how to load and mount the CD-ROM.

Upgrading from StrataView Plus 8.4 or 9.0 to StrataView Plus 9.1

You perform a Cisco SV+ 9.1 upgrade by performing the steps shown in this section.

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

Step 2 If StrataView Plus 8.4.06 was running, you must save a copy of the database. See section "Exporting the Current Informix OnLine Database" for details.

Step 3 Log in as user root.

Step 4 Shutdown the current Informix OnLine database:
host# /usr/users/svplus/kill_db

Step 5 At this point, record the disk partition where the database resides. Use this partition path name for the subsequent Cisco SV+ 9.1 installation when you are prompted for the database raw partition name. Type:
host# grep ROOTPATH /usr/users/informix/etc/tbconfig

Note, the output's second column is the disk partition where the Informix database resides. For example, /dev/rdsk/c0t1d0s7.

Step 6 Remove the existing StrataView Plus related package files:
host# pkgrm CSCOsv

When the CSCOsv package exists, confirm you want to remove it. Otherwise, you are informed the package does not exist.

Step 7 Remove the existing Informix OnLine related package files:
host# pkgrm CSCOinf

When the CSCOinf package exists, confirm you want to remove it. Otherwise, you are informed the package does not exist.

Step 8 Remove the Informix OnLine related files and directories:
host# rm -rf /usr/users/informix

Step 9 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 10 Insert the Cisco SV+ Release 9.1 CD into the CD-ROM drive.

Step 11 Install the Informix OnLine 7.23 (CSCOinf) package files:
host# pkgadd -d /cdrom/cdrom0 CSCOinf

Step 12 Link the /usr/users/informix72 directory to the /usr/users/informix directory:
host# ln -s /usr/users/informix72 /usr/users/informix

Step 13 Install the Cisco SV+ 9.1 HP OpenView (CSCOsv) package files:
host# pkgadd -d /cdrom/cdrom0 CSCOsv

Step 14 You must log in to the svplus environment. Exit from root and login as user svplus.

Step 15 Log back in as super user root.

Step 16 Upon successful completion of the installation of the Cisco SV+ 9.1 package files, type:
host# cd /usr/users/svplus

Step 17 Invoke the Cisco SV+ 9.1 installation command:
host# ./INSTALL

(1) NEW         (Release 9.1.05 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 9.1.05
       -------------------------------------------------------
       (1) From 8.4.06 (Solaris)
       (2) From 9.0.03 (Solaris)
Enter number corresponding to upgrade path or x to exit:

Step 18 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+ 9.1.05
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>

Note When 8.4.06 was previously installed, use the same raw partition as before. Enter the one you noted in
Step 5 in "Upgrading from StrataView Plus 8.4 or 9.0 to StrataView Plus 9.1" in this chapter.

Step 19 You are now finished installing the Cisco SV+ 9.1 release. Remove the Cisco SV+ 9.1 CD from the CD-ROM device.

Step 20 Go to Chapter 5 for detailed information on how to configure and invoke the
Cisco SV+ 9.1 product.


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

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 SV+ 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% tbstat -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>

Step 9 The Informix OnLine database is now saved to a safe location.
