Splitting the System
4-14 Express5800/320Fc: Active Upgrade™ User’s Guide
Managing Your Applications on the Production Side
While the system is split, you can continue to access and use your applications on the
Production Side; however, you must avoid doing any of the following on the
Production Side desktop:
• Installing or upgrading software.
•
Creating or modifying any files on the system disk, including the system registry.
•
Restarting the operating system.
C A U T I O N !
Any changes you make to files on the Production Side
system disks are lost during the commit process, because
the system overwrites these system disks (which contain
the old version of your software) with the newer Upgrade
Side disks to complete the upgrade. If you need to
preserve files from the original system disks, you can save
them to a data disk.
N O T E
Be careful when switching between the Production Side
desktop and the remote connection to the Upgrade Side
desktop. When you resume software installation or restart
the system, always ensure that you are on the Upgrade
Side.
