Upgrading PowerHA from 7.1.0 to 7.1.3

Hi All,

As per the IBM upgrade/support matrix

IBM Techdocs Technote: PowerHA for AIX Version Compatibility Matrix

we can't do online upgrade or rolling migration from powerha v7.1.0 to v7.1.3. on AIX61_TL9_SP4, So we are following the steps as below ...

1 ) Bring down the cluster
2 ) CAA_FORCE_ENABLED=1
3 ) /usr/sbin/rmcluster -n cluster_name
4 ) upgrade PowerHA using smitty update_all ( updating PowerHA software from 7.1.0 to 7.1.3 ) to all the nodes.
5 ) after upgrade restart all the nodes .. shutdown -Fr
6 ) Create the CAA cluster by running the /usr/es/sbin/cluster/utilities/clmkcaa command
7 ) Verify that the CAA services are active by running the /usr/sbin/lscluster -m
8 ) If step 6 failed then .. and cluster don't form properly then follow the below steps ..
/usr/es/sbin/cluster/conversion/clconvert_snapshot -v version -s snapshotname ( version is the previous version before upgrade can be taken using halevel command )
E.g. /usr/es/sbin/cluster/conversion/clconvert_snapshot -v 7.1.0 -s snapshotname
From the command line, enter smit hacmp.
In SMIT, select Cluster Nodes and Networks > Manage the cluster > Snapshot Configuration > Restore the Cluster Configuration from a Snapshot, and press Enter.
Select the snapshot that you want to restore, complete the required fields, and press Enter.
9 ) Run the /usr/sbin/lscluster -m command to verify that the Cluster Aware AIX (CAA) services are active on each node in the cluster.

So far this worked well, but few servers we aren't getting downtime for powerha upgrade, is there any one done online or rolling migration ? Any one found any clever way to over this downtime difficulty ?

Thanks In Advance,
Amrit

o2cb_ctl(8)							OCFS2 Manual Pages						       o2cb_ctl(8)

NAME
o2cb_ctl - Control program for the O2CB cluster service. SYNOPSIS
o2cb_ctl -C -n object -t type [-i] [-a attribute ] o2cb_ctl -D -n object [-u] o2cb_ctl -I [-o-z] -l manager> [-n object>] [-t type] [-a attribute] o2cb_ctl -H [-n object] [-t type>] [-a attribute>] o2cb_ctl -h o2cb_ctl -V DESCRIPTION
o2cb_ctl is the control program for the O2CB cluster service. Users are not advised to use this program directly but instead use the O2CB init service and/or ocfs2console. OPTIONS
-C Create an object in the OCFS2 Cluster Configuration. -D Delete an object from the existing OCFS2 Cluster Configuration. -I Print information about the OCFS2 Cluster Configuration. -H Change an object or objects in the existing OCFS2 Cluster Configuration. -h Displays help and exit. -V Print version and exit. OTHER OPTIONS
-a <attribute> With -C, <attribute> is in format "parameter=value", where the parameter is a valid parameter that can be set in the file /etc/ocfs2/cluster.conf. With -I, <attribute> may be "parameter", indicating an attribute to be listed in the output, or it may be "parameter==value", indicating that only objects matching "parameter=value" are to be displayed. -i Valid only with -C. When creating something (node or cluster), it will also install it in the live cluster. If the parameter is not specified, then only update the /etc/ocfs2/cluster.conf. -n object object is usually the node name or cluster name. In the /etc/ocfs2/cluster.conf file, it would be the value of the name parameter for any of the sections (cluster or node). -o Valid only with -I. Using this parameter, if one asks o2cb_ctl to list all nodes, it will output it in a format suitable for shell parsing. -t type type can be cluster, node or heartbeat. -u Valid only with -D. When deleting something (node or cluster), it will also remove it from the live cluster. If the parameter is not specified, then only update the /etc/ocfs2/cluster.conf. -z Valid only with -I. This is the default. If one asks o2cb_ctl to list all nodes, it will give a verbose listing. EXAMPLES
Add node5 to an offline cluster: $ o2cb_ctl -C -n node5 -t node -a number=5 -a ip_address=192.168.0.5 -a ip_port=7777 -a cluster=mycluster Add node10 to an online cluster: $ o2cb_ctl -C -i -n node10 -t node -a number=10 -a ip_address=192.168.1.10 -a ip_port=7777 -a cluster=mycluster Note the -i argument. Query the IP address of node5: $ o2cb_ctl -I -n node5 -a ip_address Change the IP address of node5: $ o2cb_ctl -H -n node5 -a ip_address=192.168.1.5 SEE ALSO
