Hardware upgrade without a disk image change - preliminary steps - assure_mimix - 10.0

To perform this portion of the upgrade process, do the following on the 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. If upgrading a production system, ensure users are logged off the system and perform a controlled end of all MIMIX data groups. For more information, see Ending a data group in a controlled manner.

3. Optional step: If upgrading the source system and performing a planned switch, follow the steps in your runbook. For more information, see Switching.

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. Record status information for each data group in case it is needed later. Do the following:

   WRKDG DGDFN(*ALL) OUTPUT(*OUTFILE) OUTFILE(MIMIXQGPL/SWITCH)

6. Optional step: Save the MIMIX software and the Assure UI server 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
