Verifying The Upgrade Side Before Committing The Upgrade - NEC Express5800/R320a-E4 User Manual

Depending on the complexity of your applications and the upgrade you performed, your
applications should be backed up and running in under a minute.
After the merge process completes, the upgrade state is Fault Tolerant\Merge\Ready, indicating
that the system is currently merged and the upgrade is ready to be committed. You can test your
applications to verify that the upgrade was successful.
If the merge process fails the first time, you can click Retry to try again. If the problem persists,
you can click Abort to abort the upgrade process, or see "Troubleshooting" for information about
resolving the problem.
IMPORTANT:
If you selected [Abort] to interrupt the Active Upgrade after the merge process is done, OS will
be restarted.
After the OS restart is completed, the interruption will be executed. The interruption may fail,
however. If it failed, retry the merge process by selecting [Retry].

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
•
External storage
•
Application 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 Production Side (see
"Verifying the Status of Application Services" on page 5-180).
•
Verify that you have access to your network, external storage, and application data disks.
