Verify that client systems can reach all of the services that your Express5800/ft series system
provides.
Verify the presence and version number of each software package (see "Verifying the Status of
Installed Software" on page 5-165).
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 commit the upgrade to make the
changes permanent.
If there are any problems, you can abort the upgrade to return the system to its original state.
However, aborting the upgrade while the system is in merge mode will incur downtime,
because the Active Upgrade console must stop your critical applications on the Upgrade Side before
it can restart them on the Production Side.

Committing the Upgrade
When you are finished testing your applications on the merged system, and you are satisfied that
everything is working correctly, you can commit the upgrade to make it permanent.
Committing the upgrade:
Reestablishes the mirror of any internal RDR system disk by overwriting the original partner
disk with its newer, upgraded partner disk.
Reestablishes the mirror of any internal RDR data disk by overwriting the stale partner disk
with its newer, live partner disk (the disk to which your applications have been writing data
throughout the upgrade process).
Does not restart your applications, as they are already running on the upgraded system. There
is no additional downtime.
