Performing a Readiness Check
Before you can initiate split mode on a system, the system must pass a readiness check.
(a) Check items
The readiness check verifies that your system meets the prerequisites for the Active Upgrade process. For
example, the readiness check ensures that:
•
The system is currently running in the duplex mode.
•
The disks you selected as the system disks are present and are mirrored with RDR.
•
The embedded LAN in your system are duplexed.
•
The IP address configured to the system of the Upgrade Side must be an unused one, and this IP address is
the same network address as the one duplexed LAN.
•
The application services you specified for control are currently running, and can be exited when necessary.
•
The executables for any custom action are present on the system disk and are ready to run.
(b) Checking method
To perform a readiness test, choose to do one of the following:
•
Click Next on the Upgrade Summary page (if you are using a configuration file).
•
Click Active Upgrade on the navigation bar (the readiness test starts automatically if you have recently
opened or changed your configuration).
•
Click No Configuration File on the Configuration page.
The activity log reports the overall results of the readiness check as well as the results for each individual test.
The below list describes the general meaning of the activity log entries.
