ASE 15 Upgrade Checklist for Upgrading from ASE 12.x Sybase ASE 15 _________________________________________________________________________________________________ STEP 2: PRE-UPGRADE PROCEDURES STEP 2.1: BUILD A TEST ENVIRONMENT TO PERFORM POST-UPGRADE TESTING The best way to avoid unpleasant surprises in production is to test and tune your upgraded server in test. This requires a test environment that closely simulates your production environment and application workload. The closer your test system resembles your production system, the more valid and useful your test results will be. The parameters for your test environment should include: o o o o o o Server Configuration: Physical memory, number of locks, number of user connections, traceflags, startup options, user cache, procedure cache, statement cache. Database and Table Sizes: User databases, user tables, system tables and tempdb. Security: Accounts, auditing, encryption, and LDAP. Workload: At the least, test your most critical and/or most frequently executed queries. Perform tests that simulate critical peak and batch workloads. Interfaces: Verify the performance of any data feeds into and out of your server. Backups: Consider verifying backup and restore procedures and throughput. STEP 2.2: IDENTIFY, OBTAIN AND DEPLOY YOUR NEW ASE 15 LICENSES 2.2.1: OVERVIEW The SySAM licensing procedures for ASE consist of the following steps: 1. Identifying the components and options to install or upgrade. 2. Choosing a SySAM license model. 3. Obtaining a license from the Sybase SPDC portal. 4. Installing the license. 2.2.2: IDENIFYING YOUR ASE LICENSES You need one ASE Core license, and an additional license for each optional feature you are using. Review your current ASE server to identify your current license usage and type. You may also want to choose additional licenses based on your review of ASE’s newest optional features. For a complete listing of ASE 15.7 standard and optional features, see the following documents: o ASE 15.7 Features: http://www.sybase.com/files/Data_Sheets/Sybase_ASE_15.7_Features_DS.pdf o ASE Options: http://www.sybase.com/files/Data_Sheets/Syb_ASE_Editions_US_DS_Feb2012_WEB.pdf ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ASE 15 Upgrade Checklist for ASE 12.X v3.0 Page 53 of 97 Last Update: May, 2012
ASE 15 Upgrade Checklist for Upgrading from ASE 12.x Sybase ASE 15 _________________________________________________________________________________________________ 2.2.3: CHOOSING A LICENSE MODEL When installing SySAM, you have a choice of two license management models, server and unserved: o o o o Unserved: With this license model, the ASE license for each server is stored locally within the $SYBASE directory. Served: With this license model, the ASE licenses for multiple servers are stored in a centralized location on the network. Each of these models has their own advantages and disadvantages. The served model simplifies license management by providing a centralized repository for all licenses. However, it requires installation of additional software and is a potential point of failure unless additional configurations are employed as described in the SySAM Users Guide. For more details, see the SySAM Users Guide: Determining Your License Deployment Model at: http://infocenter.sybase.com/help/index.jsp?topic=/com.sybase.infocenter.dc00530.0200/doc/html /san1263843576833.html 2.2.4: DOWNLOADING YOUR ASE CORE LICENSE Where to get your license: Licenses are generated and downloaded from the Sybase Product Download Center (SPDC) at https://sybase.subscribenet.com/. For more details on generating licenses, see the SySAM Users Guide, Generating Licenses at SPDC at: http://infocenter.sybase.com/help/index.jsp?topic=/com.sybase.infocenter.dc00530.0200/doc/html/jon1271803 489638.html . Some things you will need to know: o o o Know your host-id: Licenses are generated specific to a Host Machine. Therefore, when you generate licenses at the Sybase Product Download Center (SPDC) website, you must specify the host ID of the machine where the licenses will be deployed: • The SPDC portal will provide instructions for obtaining your host-id. This procedure varies for each platform. • Note: Licenses cannot be directly swapped between machines. If you are moving this license to a new host, you will have to check the license back in at the SPDC website and regenerate it for the new host if moving. Know the Product Edition (PE) you will need: The licenses generated for ASE software are Product Edition Specific. Be sure you know what product edition you are using before downloading and installing your ASE software. Know which License Type you will need: The licenses generated for your product are also Type Specific. Be sure that you know your license type (LT) prior to installing the software. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ASE 15 Upgrade Checklist for ASE 12.X v3.0 Page 54 of 97 Last Update: May, 2012
