5-166 Installing and Using Utilities
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.
IMPORTANT:
If you terminate the Remote Desktop, "Disconnect" instead of "Logoff." 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.
IMPORTANT:
– Your screen might flicker and you might briefly lose control of your keyboard and mouse
as the system is merged.
– Do not select [Abort] button to interrupt the Active Upgrade during the merge. The disk
may not be recognized from the OS. When the disk isn't recognized from the OS, go to
[Disc Management] then execute [Disk Rescan]. If the disk status becomes [missing] or
[offline], right click the disk and select [Disk Reactivation] to verify the disk status
becomes [online].
– If you exit the remote desktop connection to the Upgrade Side, or if you exit the remote
KVM connection to the Upgrade Side, the following error message might appear on the
Active Upgrade Console of the Production Side while operating the merge.
A user must be logged into the upgrade-side console for this operation to complete.
When this error message appears, complete the merge by following the below procedure:
1. Click the Remote Desktop link and login to the Upgrade Side.
2. Select [Retry] button on the Active Upgrade Console of the Production Side and retry
the merge operation.
– Do not shut down or restart the server when the merge process is completed. If you shut
down or restart the server under the merged status, the system may hang during the
shutdown process. If the hang occurs due to shutdown or restart, press and hold the power
button to stop the power. Subsequently, press the power button to start the server. After the
suspension process of the Active Upgrade process is performed, start over the Active
Upgrade.
