Upgrading a Cell Environment

Note: This procedure has changed since 1.0.12.0. In previous versions the process of upgrading a cell environment was different.

To upgrade a cellenvironment:

Make sure the entire cell is up and running. Upgrading is possible only if the cell is healthy.
Upgrade the cell manager.
When the cell manager upgrade is complete, the cell manager Web Console will be unavailable. Do not start the services manually on the cell manager unless requested explicitly.
Upgrade all cell members (can be done in parallel).
When the cell members upgrade is complete, start the cell manager services using app-util.sh ("Start All").
