Migration Process I: Ha/F100 With Windows Nts/E To Ha/F100 With Windows 2000 Advanced Server - Compaq ProLiant Clusters HA/F100 Administrator's Manual

Migration Process I: HA/F100 with
Windows NTS/E to HA/F100 with
Windows 2000 Advanced Server
This procedure can be performed while keeping your cluster online (a rolling
upgrade) provided that the firmware levels of all RA4000 controllers are at the
same level and v2.58 or later.
IMPORTANT: Back up all data before beginning the migration process.
The basic steps to this rolling upgrade include:
1. Failing over all cluster resources to node 2
2. Upgrading the operating system and drivers on node 1
3. Failing back all cluster resources to node 1
4. Upgrading node 2
If an RA4000 Controller firmware upgrade is needed then the procedure is
modified slightly to accommodate this upgrade.
NOTE: The firmware upgrade procedure requires that the cluster be shut down causing
the cluster to be unavailable to clients during the migration.
To migrate your cluster, follow these steps:
1. Move all of the cluster groups, including the cluster group, to Node 2.
NOTE: For help on moving cluster groups, refer to the Microsoft clustering documentation
that came with your operating system.
