Performing a Readiness Check
Before you can initiate split mode on a system, the system must pass a readiness
check. The readiness check verifies that your system meets the prerequisites for the
Active Upgrade process. For example, the readiness check ensures that:
•
The system is currently running in duplex mode.
•
The disks you selected as system disks are present and are mirrored with RDR.
• The system contains two properly configured VTM adapters.
• The embedded Ethernet PCI adapters in your system are configured into Ethernet
teams, and each team contains at least one adapter from each physical enclosure.
• The application services you specified for control are currently running, and can be
stopped when necessary.
• The executable file for any custom action is present on the system and ready to run.
To perform a readiness test, do one of the following:
• Click Next on the Upgrade Summary page (if you are using a configuration file).
•
Click Active Upgrade on the navigation bar (the readiness test starts automatically
if you have recently opened or changed your configuration).
•
Click Retry on the Active Upgrade page.
