1.4.2 Running the IVP

The Installation Verification Procedure (IVP) requires a working C language compiler to run.

Note

Do not run the IVP program on a production system, as it may alter the RTR journal or interrupt processing of transactions. You will be prompted to abort the IVP before it can do any damage. Consider your situation carefully before running the IVP.

You may run the IVP separately from the installation procedure. If you are not using the C shell, start it by typing /usr/bin/csh and run the IVP by typing the following:-


# setenv BASEDIR /opt 

and then executing the file
pkg/rtr/reloc/rtr/RTRxxx/examples/rtr/rtr_ivp_osf.sh .

Installation Verification Procedure 
WARNING: This is not a first time install. 
WARNING: Please ensure that you have terminated *all* existing 
WARNING: rtr processes and rtr applications before continuing. 
Rtr will find and reuse any existing rtr journal files in the top level 
rtrjnl directory on each suitable filesystem, and will reuse any 
existing shared memory segment associated with /rtr/RTRENVPS 
Normally this is intended and should not cause any problems. 
 
WARNING: Any existing journal will be used and modified, otherwise 
WARNING: a new journal will be created on the default filesystem.  
WARNING: Facilities RTR_IVP_FACILITY and RTR will be created. 
 
WARNING: Result may be affected by size and contents of any existing journal.

Upgrade Process

To upgrade RTR, use the following process:

  1. Shutdown RTR
  2. Uninstall RTR
  3. Install RTR
  4. Run the IVP (optional)
  5. Start RTR

2.1 Rolling Upgrade Restrictions

Take note of the following restrictions if upgrading an RTR environment from RTR V3.2 to V4.0.

The RTR recovery protocol consists of messages sent from one backend, via a router, to the target backend. If either of the RTR backends is upgraded to RTR V4.0, then the router that will be used for recovery must also be running RTR V4.0. This generally means that any RTR router nodes should be upgraded to RTR V4.0 before any RTR backend nodes. There is no restriction in the order that RTR backends should be upgraded to V4.0.

The order in which RTR nodes should be upgraded for a rolling upgrade from V3.2 to V4.0 is as follows:

  1. Frontend-only nodes can be upgraded at any time
  2. Router-only and mixed frontend/router nodes
  3. Mixed router/backend nodes
  4. Router-only nodes
  5. Backend-only nodes

For more complex configurations, where a node may have combinations of facilities with different backend/router groupings, use the command SET NODE/RECOVERY=V32 to set the recovery protocol to the V3.2 algorithm. Once RTR has been upgraded on all nodes, the recovery protocol can be reset to its default value (V4.0), and RTR restarted at a convenient time on each node. This need not be a simultaneous restart on all nodes. RTR can be restarted on each node one by one after resetting the default recovery protocol, so that continuous application availability is maintained.

2.2 Uninstalling RTR

Remove commands do not remove all RTR files from your disks. This is particularly important when you are upgrading from one version of RTR to another. You must eliminate all RTR files from your system, but must not discard any customized monitor files in /rtr or a journal containing recoverable transactions in /rtrjnl . Copy these to another directory before completing the uninstall instructions.

If /rtrjnl or /rtr is a symbolic link to another directory, first remove the target directory and all files contained in it, and then remove the symbolic link.

2.2.1 Uninstalling on OpenVMS

Complete the following steps to uninstall RTR from your system.

2.2.2 Uninstalling on Windows Systems

You must perform the following actions before uninstalling RTR on a Windows system:

2.2.3 Uninstalling on Compaq Tru64 UNIX

Complete the following steps to uninstall RTR from your system.

2.2.4 Uninstalling on Sun

Complete the following steps to uninstall RTR from your system.
