Verification and Housekeeping Tasks After Upgrading
◆ Checklist for determining the continuing use of a prior installation’s directory:
1. Did the upgrade choose to use the existing data store (the Leave option) in the prior
installation directory structure? [ ] Yes [ ] No
2. Did the upgrade choose to use the existing recovery logs (the Leave option) in the
prior installation directory structure? [ ] Yes [ ] No
3. Are there one or more added broker data stores that are in the prior installation’s
directory structure (instead of being moved to the upgraded installation location)?
[ ] Yes [ ] No
4. Were the certificate stores in the prior installation left in place, pointed to from the
upgraded installation location? [ ] Yes [ ] No
If you checked Yes on any of these items, then refrain from deleting any files.
Consult with Sonic technical support for tips and techniques that will provide the best
result.
Warning Enabling Roll Back of Upgrades — Your ability to revert to using the installations from
prior versions is dependent on reinstating the configurations in the Directory Service.
Tactics to achieve this include:
■ Because an existing Directory Service installation (as well as its broker and
container) is unmodified during its upgrade, you can revert the entire domain to
its pre-upgrade image.
■ Consider doing an online backup of the Directory Service store immediately
after the Domain Manager has been upgraded so that all the distributed
containers and their components are in their pre-update configurations.
■ Consider blocking inadvertent startup of an inactive domain by, for example,
renaming its boot file from container.xml to container_76_INACTIVE.xml.
