Hardware upgrade with a disk image change - preliminary steps - assure_mimix - 10.0

To perform the save portion of the upgrade process, do the following on the old system prior to the upgrade:

1. Ensure MIMIX is operating normally before performing the upgrade. There should be no files or objects in error and all transactions should be caught up. See Resolving common replication problems for more information about resolving problems.

2. Optional step: Perform a switch by following the steps in your runbook. See Considerations for performing a hardware system upgrade with a disk image change to determine if a switch is required.

3. Ensure users are logged off the system and all applications have ended. Perform a controlled end of all MIMIX data groups. For more information, see Ending a data group in a controlled manner.

4. Use the following command to end all MIMIX products in the installation library, end the MIMIX managers, and end the RJ links:

   ENDMMX ENDOPT(*CNTRLD) ENDRJLNK(*YES) ENDSMRJ(*YES)

5. Ensure there are no open commit cycles. For more information, see Checking for open commit cycles.

   If open commit cycles exist, restart the data group and repeat Step 4 to end all MIMIX products.

6. Each data group’s Last Read journal receiver and sequence number for both system and user journals will be needed later in these instructions. Print the status information for each data group by doing the following:

   1. From the Work with Data Groups display, type 8 (Display detail status) next to each data group.

   2. Press Enter.

   3. Press F7 for object status and print the display. Keep the information for later use.

   4. Press F8 for database status and print the display. Keep the information for later use.

7. Print the list of system values. You will need this list in the next section after the disk image is changed. Type the following on a command line and press Enter:

   WRKSYSVAL SYSVAL(*ALL) OUTPUT(*PRINT)

8. Optional step: Save the MIMIX software and the Assure UI server from the old system by doing a full system save or by saving the following MIMIX installation libraries and IFS directories:

   • LAKEVIEW

   • MIMIXQGPL

   • MIMIX-installation-library

   • MIMIX-installation-library_0

   • MIMIX-installation-library_1

   • VSI001LIB

   • /LakeviewTech (directory tree)

   • /visionsolutions/http/vsisvr
