Verifying the Upgrade Side Before Committing the Upgrade
After you have merged the system, your critical applications (including the Active
Upgrade console) are running from the software on the Upgrade Side system disks. At
this point, you can test the software you installed and verify the general health of the
system with full access to the system's resources, including:
•
Network resources
•
Internal data disks
For example, you might want to perform the following tasks before you commit the
upgrade:
•
Verify that all of your critical applications have restarted on the Upgrade Side (see
"Verifying the Status of Application Services" on page
•
Verify that you have access to your network and application data disks.
•
Verify that client systems can reach all of the services that your system provides.
•
Verify the presence and version number of each software package (see
the Status of Installed Software" on page
•
Verify that you can start and run any applications that you have installed or
upgraded (if they are not already running).
•
Check the configuration settings for your applications and the operating system,
which could have been altered by software installation.
If you are satisfied that everything is working correctly, you can
make the changes permanent.
If there are any problems, you can
state. However, aborting the upgrade while the system is in merge mode incurs
downtime, because the Active Upgrade console must stop your critical applications on
the Upgrade Side before it can restart them on the Production Side.
