Hi Sun Managers...
I'm working on a system that just came into my area of responsibility.
It's a pair of E4500s running Sun Cluster 2.2, Solaris 7 (patch 23). (I
plan to upgrade it to Solaris 9, but that's a longer term project.) Using
StorEdge D1000s for external storage.
My immediate goal is to just get this thing up to date while I plan the
upgrade and re-architecture.
I've done the initial round of research, READMEs on the patches, checked
with my local circle of gurus, but I thought I'd go one more step and ask
here.... so far, the advice I get is goes like this:
Freeze the cluster (prevent any auto failovers)
Take one side down to single user mode
Begin patches
Reboot
Continue any additional post-reboot patches
Bring the system back up to runlevel 3
Sanity check it
Migrate processes over to the patched server
Do the other side
Unfreeze the cluster.
Anyone have any differing advice? Anything to look out for?
Best,
Angelo
