We have to upgrade an Alphaserver 1000 4/266 from DU 3.2A to 4.0B soon.
System disk is a raid1 set on an swxcr.
We intend to
- Use firmware CD 3.9 to upgrade firmware
- Upgrade from 3.2a to 3.2c to 4.0 to 4.0b
- install c++ shared libraries
I would like to know
- how much time will it all take? Does 6 hours sound likely?
- do I need to enlarge the root partition (currently 150000 blocks
i.e. 75 MB)?
- do I need to do anything about the swxcr controller (firmware,
upgrade swxcr software or whatever)?
TIA, Alex Kok (Alex.Kok_at_nlzcl1.decnet.philips.nl)
