Version 2.0
Verify the system isn’t a Regatta, or LPAR. Models 7040-681 and 7038-6M2 are
regattas.
The change:
F. Notification
1. Contact Operations to put the server on maintenance.
2. Notify the Basis team that the online server work is beginning.
H. On the nim_server:
1. Ensure the client is defined to the nim server (lsnim -l oldtutxxx) or define it.
Example: nim -o define -t standalone -a platform=chrp -a netboot_kernel=mp -a
if1="168_146_x_x oldtutxxx 0" -a cable_type1=tp oldtutxxx where x specifies the
client server hostname and IP address (i.e. oldtut102 and 168.146.19.187).
3. Start the clone and migration (use appropriate values)
NOTE: For most 5.2 to 5.3 migration, this takes 5hrs to run.
4. The install can be monitored from the NIM server using tail -f. The log file is
in /var/adm/ras/alt_mig.
Example: tail -f oldtutxxx_alt_mig.log
I. On the nim_client:
1. Verify the bootlist so that the system will boot off altinst_rootvg (this should
have been done by the alt_disk_install )
bootlist –m normal –o
if its not set correctly, investigate the reason. If ok to proceed, then set it manually:
bootlist m normal -o hdiskx (where x is the altinst_rootvg disk)
2. Stop all applications/databases
3. Reboot
shutdown –Fr
To fix:
# cd /
# tar -cvf /tmp/odm.tar ./etc/objrepos ./usr/lib/objrepos ./usr/share/lib/objrepos
odmget -q name=devices.common.IBM.mpio.rte lpp
Note the "lpp_id "
lpp:
name = "devices.common.IBM.mpio.rte"
size = 0
state = 1
cp_flag = 275
group = ""
magic_letter = "I"
ver = 5
rel = 2
mod = 0
fix = 30
description = "MPIO Disk Path Control Module"
lpp_id = 628
Export ODMDIR=/etc/objrepos
#smitty installp
4. Check for filesets not upgraded to current level and update as needed
instfix -i | grep ML or instfix -i | grep ":-:"
NOTE: if additional filesets are needed and should be added to the lppsrc, put them in
the appropriate STAGE directory and send an upgrade request to your teamlead - do
not update lppsrc or the spot directly.
5. Run oslevel -s to ensure it is reporting the expected level
6. Commit the AIX 5.3 filesets:
# smit commit
7. Clear error logs
errclear 0
/usr/lib/errstop
/usr/lib/errdemon
8. Reconfigure /etc/mail/sendmail.cf (reference teamroom document for
sendmail)
9. Update /etc/motd
10. Ensure that aio is enabled (available) on the new image if needed (may
require a reboot)
lsattr -El aio0 (or smit aio)
11. Remove "exit 0" from /usr/local/etc/rc.local startup script if it was added
previously.
12. Run /adm/bin/snapcomp.ksh and mount missing filesystems.
13. Contact application team to start applications and verify everything looks ok.
14. Contact Operations to take the server off maintenance.
