Performing software upgrades with the
AMI Elite 1600 RAID
Introduction
A software upgrade using the RAID subsystem splitting procedure can
provide maximum benefit, because the upgrade is fast and is most likely to
preserve the original configuration.
When software upgrading is used, none of the previous backup and recovery
procedures should be used.
To perform a software upgrade
1 Shut down and power off the CallPilot server.
2 Mark the drives as follows:
A01-01 First drive ID0 (PACK 1)
A02-01 Second drive ID1 (PACK 2)
A03-01 Third drive ID2 (PACK 3)
A01-02 Fourth drive ID3 (PACK 1- mirror of first drive)
A02-02 Fifth drive ID4 (PACK 2- mirror of second drive)
A03-02 Sixth drive ID5 (PACK 3- mirror of third drive)
3 Remove one set of drives belonging to one pack (the original or the
mirror drives) that can be used as a backup in case the upgrade fails.
Example: A01-01, A02-01, A03-01
