Use this information to understand how to upgrade SkyVault Content Services in a distributed
environment.
The main stages involved in installing SkyVault Content Services 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 on a single instance, installing on node 2, restoring production data, and finally, testing and getting familiar with SkyVault Content Services. 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: Stop the SkyVault Content Services server, restore
production data, and start the 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: We recommend that you upgrade 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.
