Dear Managers,
With the help of this list, I solved my NFS problem by applying PK3 to
one of my machines. However, now I need to install some more software,
and I realise that I've got myself in a bit of a hole. I'm hoping that
someone can help me out!
Systems:
DS20 + ES40, TU 5.1 TC 5.1
History:
the two machines were clustered at the time we bought the ES40, but the
DS20 had to be booted back into 4.X to support some people who were in
the middle of some important work. The ES40 was left in a "cluster" of
one, NFS-serving to some workstations (TU, IRIX and Linux). Problems
with NFS on the ES40 were resolved by applying PK3.
Because the ES40 was still running TC5.1, I had to do this via the
rolling upgrade route. However, as I knew I couldn't complete the roll
on the DS20 at the time, I stopped after the "install stage" on the
ES40 (which was the "lead member" for the upgrade), and ran clu_upgrade
postinstall on it.
Now, with the DS20 finally back in the cluster I need to finish the
rolling upgrade and apply PK3 to the DS20. However, the DS20 never
knew that the cluster was being upgraded, so it thinks that I need to
start at the clu_upgrade check setup <id> stage, while the ES40 thinks
that it is at the "roll" stage.
Is there any (easy!) way I can convince the two machines to agree on
the stages they think they are at? Do I need to shutdown the DS20,
uninstall PK3 on the ES40, boot the DS20 and start the rolling patch on
both machines again?
Thanks for any light you can shed on my dilemma!
Regards,
Andrew
