Patch Readiness Checklist for Unwired Platform Runtime 2.1 ESD #3 Patch 02

Ensure your environment is ready for patching to Unwired Platform Runtime 2.1 ESD #3 Patch 02 or 2.1 ESD #3 Patch 01.

  1. Verify that Unwired Platform installations are at version 2.1 ESD #3, or 2.1 ESD #3 Patch 01.
  2. Back up each node in your system infrastructure.
  3. Back up the registry on each node in your system infrastructure.
  4. Back up the shared database if you have Unwired Platform installed in a cluster. For example, back up the cache, cluster, monitor, and domainlog databases, and if present the sample database.
  5. Disable automatic system backups for the 2.1.3 SDK installation tree. If you have Unwired Platform installed in a cluster, ensure that automatic system backups are disabled before upgrading each node in the cluster.
  6. Disable virus scan on the installation tree. If you have Unwired Platform installed in a cluster, disable the virus scan on each node of the cluster. Alternatively, disable virus scan altogether while the patch is being applied.
  7. Make sure that the available disk space on each data tier node in a cluster, or on a single-server installation, is sufficient to accommodate a 50% increase in the size of the shared database.
  8. For virtual machine (VM) infrastructure deployments, take a snapshot of each node before proceeding.
  9. Adjust User Access Control for your operating system, then validate that the environment continues to work as expected:
    • On Windows 7 or Windows 2008 R2, change the UAC setting for Windows users to Never Notify and restart Windows.
    • On Windows Vista and Windows 2008, disable UAC, and restart Windows.
  10. Verify that you have administrator privileges on the patch target hosts.
  11. Verify that you are using the same Windows user account that was previously used to install Unwired Platform.
  12. Verify that database administrator user names and passwords for the configurable Unwired Platform databases have not changed from the default settings ("dba"/"sql"), or enter the new values here:
