Aborting the upgrade while the system is in split mode will not incur downtime, because your
critical applications are still running on the Production Side.

Merging the System
After you are finished performing upgrade tasks on the Upgrade Side of the system, you can merge
the system to verify your changes before you permanently commit them.
Merging the system:
Stops your applications and services on the Production Side.
Merges system resources so that the network, external storage, and application data disks
become available to the Upgrade Side.
Restarts your applications (including the Active Upgrade console) from the Upgrade Side.
To merge the system
1. Verify that all upgrade processes are complete, and that you have exited any installer programs.
2. Optionally, terminate any Remote KVM or Remote Desktop sessions.
NOTE:
You can remain logged on to the Upgrade Side if you want to maintain the current desktop
session. After the merge, you will be using the Upgrade Side desktop.
3. Verify that the upgrade state, as reported in the status bar, is Production Side | Split | Ready.
If the status is Busy, you must wait for the current task to complete. If it is Broken, you might
need to abort the upgrade.
4. Click Merge.
