Hi all,

I know many of you have done this, but this is my first major CPPM upgrade, so I am cautious.  I’ve read the release note and a few posts, but I still need some verifications:

1. My CPPM version 6.2.6.62196, I plan to upgrade to 6.3.2.63239 which already loaded in my Firmware & Patch Updates along with CPPM 6.3.0.60537
2. According to release note I can upgrade image directly within CPPM.
3. My CPPM is VM (which is not my stuff) with iSCSI 0:0 (That I should never remove), and iSCSI 0:1 with provisioned storage 273 GB.
4. I did generate and saved backup.tar.gz.  I do not worry about the Insight DB or log DB 

Questions:

1. Requirement for CPPM 6.3 is 500 GB disk space, so should my VM guy delete SCSI 0:1, increase the HD size BEFORE my upgrade?
2. What is in SCSI 0:1? Do I lose everything and have to restore from my backup after upgrade?  Will CPPM still boot if SCSI 0:1 delete?

Best Regards,

you need to create  a separate hard drive space iSCSI 0:2 (500GB) before you do the upgrade.

ado75,

Thank you for taking time to answer.  OK, I'll ask VM team to create 500GB iSCSI 0:2, and I click Download in CPPM Firware & Patch Updates.  Will Upgrades knows to use iSCSI 0:2? or do I or VM team need to do anything to makesure the new CPPM 6.3 will be installed in iSCSI 0:2? 

Thanks,

Upgrade knows. Please refer to the upgrade section in TechNote

VM team postpone my upgrade.  I'll update the accept solution if it works!

Kudos for the help.

The upgrade went well last night.  My recommendations: following the tech note, after hit the “upgrade”, take a break for 1.5 hour.  At a few times you see an error like “postgress”, “http”, you think the upgrade hang, but it overcame and worked.
