Performing a Readiness Check
Before you can initiate split mode on a system, the system must pass a readiness check. The
readiness check verifies that your system meets the prerequisites for the Active Upgrade process.
For example, the readiness check ensures that:
•
The system is currently running in the duplex mode.
•
The disks you selected as the system disks are present and are mirrored with RDR.
•
The embedded Ethernet PCI adapters in your system are configured to Ethernet teams, and
each team contains at least one adapter from each physical enclosure.
•
The IP address configured to the system of the Upgrade Side must be an unused one, and
this IP address is the same network address as the one Ethernet team.
•
The application services you specified for control are currently running, and can be exited
when necessary.
•
The executables for any custom action are present on the system and are ready to run.
