Recommendations

Preparing for the Active Upgrade Process 2-5

Recommendations

When preparing your system for the Active Upgrade process, also consider the

following recommendations:

• If possible, assign static IP addresses for embedded Ethernet teams and VTM

adapters.

The Active Upgrade process also supports Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol

(DHCP) addresses for these adapters; however, if the DHCP server becomes

unavailable during the upgrade process, your system cannot obtain an IP address

and configuration when needed. The readiness check in Active Upgrade console

reports if the system cannot connect to the DHCP server to renew the leases for

your DHCP addresses. If this problem occurs, you should resolve the problem with

the DHCP server before initiating split mode.

• If your system is protected by Windows Firewall, enable the exceptions for Active

Upgrade console and Remote Desktop as shown in “Configuring Windows Firewall

for the Active Upgrade Process” on page 2-10.

If Windows Firewall is running, and these exceptions are not enabled,

communication between the Production Side and Upgrade Side might fail during

the upgrade process.

• If your system is protected by an uninterruptible power supply (UPS), ensure that

the CPU- I⁄ O enclosure with A-side power (CPU enclosure 0, I/O enclosure 10) is

marked as the Primary enclosure in ftSMC before starting the upgrade process.

This configuration provides better protection for your system should power fail

during an upgrade. See “Configuring a UPS-Protected System for the Active

Upgrade Process” on page 2-11 for more information.

• If you have installed QLogic™ SANsurfer

Fibre Channel HBA Software to

upgrade the BIOS in your host bus adapter, you should uninstall this utility and

reboot the system (or stop the SANsurfer background service) when you are done

upgrading the BIOS, otherwise, it may prevent the upgrade process from

successfully entering split mode.

• Use caution when applying hotfixes from any source. Applying updates

indiscriminately may introduce serious problems to your system.

• You should install all Microsoft Security hotfixes (identified by the prefix MS).

• Do not install other types of hotfixes, such as Microsoft patches that fix a

particular problem, before obtaining validation from NEC Solutions (America),

Inc..

Use the Display Hotfix feature of Active Service Manager (ASM) to inquire

about Quick Fix Engineering hotfixes (identified by the prefix QFE) that are not

security related. If NEC Solutions (America), Inc. has not previously validated
