Goal

Procedure to update exa-family build to version 2.3.0.1110 from build version 2.2.0.x/2.3.0.x to avoid issues discussed in Sun Alert xxxx

Solution

The below steps apply to SuperCluster systems running exa-family build versions 2.2.0.x and 2.3.0.x.

To verify the exa-family build version on the system, execute the below command on the Master Control (Primary) Domain:

root@MCD# pkg info osc-domcreate | grep Branch
Branch: 2.3.0.1014

Steps to update the exa-family packages on SuperCluster Domains to build 2.3.0.1110:

NOTE: This procedure should be first executed on the Master Control (Primary) Domain and then execute Step 8 on all the other domains in SuperCluster rack.

1. Download exa-family 2.3.0.1110 build repo from MOS, patch 27276128
2. Copy the downloaded patch 'p27276128_2x_SOLARIS64.zip' onto the Master Control (Primary) Domain in the SuperCluster under a directory (ex: /var/tmp/)
3. Unzip the patch and mount the resultant exa-family repo iso

root@MCD# unzip /var/tmp/p27276128_2x_SOLARIS64.zip
root@MCD# mkdir /mnt/exa-family
root@MCD# mount -F hsfs /var/tmp/sol-exafamily-2.3.0.1110-repo-incr.iso /mnt/exa-family

4. Verify exa-family repository location

root@MCD# pkg publisher
PUBLISHER TYPE STATUS P LOCATION
solaris origin online F file:///net/192.168.28.1/export/IPS-repos/solaris11/repo/
exa-family origin online F file:///net/192.168.28.1/export/IPS-repos/exafamily/repo/

5. Update internal exa-family repository with the packages in the downloaded exa-family repo

root@MCD# pkgrecv -s /mnt/exa-family/repo -d /net/192.168.28.1/export/IPS-repos/exafamily/repo/ '*'
Processing packages for publisher exa-family ...
Retrieving and evaluating 19 package(s)...
PROCESS ITEMS GET (MB) SEND (MB)
Completed 8/8 10.4/10.4 45.7/45.7

6. Rebuild the repo and verify the new packages available in the repo:

root@MCD# pkgrepo rebuild -s /net/192.168.28.1/export/IPS-repos/exafamily/repo/
Initiating repository rebuild.
root@MCD# pkg refresh
root@MCD# pkg list -afv system/platform/supercluster/*

7. Disable SVA iodct services:

root@MCD# svcadm disable svc:/application/iodctq:default
root@MCD# svcadm disable svc:/site/iodct-upgrade-monitor:default
root@MCD# svcadm disable svc:/application/iodct-httpd:default

8. Update exa-family build packages

root@MCD# pkg refresh
root@MCD# pkg update system/platform/supercluster/*

9. Enable SVA iodct services:

root@MCD# svcadm enable svc:/application/iodct-httpd:default
root@MCD# svcadm enable svc:/site/iodct-upgrade-monitor:default
root@MCD# svcadm enable svc:/application/iodctq:default
root@MCD# svcadm enable svc:/system/svc/periodic-restarter:default

10. Login to SVA and run sanity checks to verify IO domain configuration.

NOTE: Step 8 has to be executed on all the domains (guest and IO) in the SuperCluster rack.
