Selecting Disks to Upgrade
In split mode, specify the disk that contains software you want to upgrade.
Use the Disk Selection page to select the disks that contain the software you want to upgrade with the Active
Upgrade process.
On Disk Selection page, only disks mirrored with RDR are displayed.
•
System disk
A disk that contains the system or application software you want to upgrade. Only disks marked as System
will be available to the Upgrade Side while the system is split.
•
Mandatory system disks
The Active Upgrade Console automatically marks some disks as system disks. These mandatory system
disks contain either boot files or paging files (virtual memory files) that are currently in use by the running
operating system.
•
Data disk
A disk that contains persistent data for your applications. Any disk marked as Data will be available only to
the Production Side while the system is split.
See Chapter 2 (1.5.2 (2) Prerequisites) for the Active Upgrade process for additional restrictions.
Volumes on the Disk Selection page are color-coded as described in the table below.
