Best Practices for Upgrading CA ARCserve Backup from a Previous Release To upgrade an ARCserve cluster-aware environment to this release 1. Upgrade CA ARCserve Backup using one of the following procedures: ■ Upgrade CA ARCserve Backup from r12, r12.5, and r15 to r16 in an MSCS Cluster Environment (see page 152). ■ Upgrade CA ARCserve Backup from r12, r12.5, and r15 to r16 in an NEC CLUSTERPRO Environment (see page 175). 2. Verify the upgrade. 3. (Optional) CA ARCserve Backup does not support recovering the CA ARCserve Backup database when the last backup of the CA ARCserve Backup database was completed before you upgraded to this release. As a best practice, you should back up the CA ARCserve Backup database as soon as possible after the upgrade is complete. For information about backing up the CA ARCserve Backup database, see the Administration Guide. How to Verify a Cluster-aware Upgrade To ensure that your CA ARCserve Backup installation functions properly, complete the following tasks: 1. Open the CA ARCserve Backup Manager Console on a stand-alone server. 2. Connect to the upgraded ARCserve Server using the virtual name. 3. If you can successfully connect to the upgraded server, move the ARCserve cluster group to a different node. Ensure that all ARCserve services started successfully. Note: The Manager Console may stop responding intermittently while the cluster group is moving to a different node. 4. Open the Server Admin. Ensure that the domain directory tree displays the names of the primary server and all of the member servers in your ARCserve domain. 5. Open the Job Status Manager. Ensure that all data from the previous installation migrated to the new primary server. CA ARCserve Backup migrates information about jobs, logs, and user information from the previous servers to the new primary server. 344 Implementation Guide
