This topic describes the steps for upgrading SkyVault in a distributed environment.
The main stages involved in installing SkyVault in a cluster are shown in the diagram. You must upgrade and configure your data on a single node first and then on the second node, and so on.
The main steps involved in the upgrading process include preparing your system for upgrade, upgrading SkyVault on a single node, installing SkyVault on node 2, restoring production data, and finally, testing and getting familiar to SkyVault. Repeat the last three steps on all the other nodes in your system in series.
Each of these main stages consist of sub-steps, as shown in the diagram, which displays the sub-steps that need to be performed in order to
complete each main stage.
Note: Note that the steps shown in the diagrams have
a colour code. For example, Restoring production data stage consists of three sub-steps, namely,
Stop the SkyVault server, Restore production data, and Start the SkyVault
server.
Note: Make sure you do not install and configure all the nodes in parallel. Follow
in the installation process in series for all the nodes in your system.
Note: SkyVault recommends that you upgrade SkyVault in a test environment before you upgrade it in
your production environment. This allows you to address any problems during the upgrade process
more effectively. You can also verify that applications and scripts work properly before
upgrading your production environment. In addition, you can assess the time that it takes to
upgrade the database, to finalize your upgrade plan.
