Manually Upgrading the Old Server

Back up all old databases.

Start the earlier version of Adaptive Server:

Move to the old $SYBASE directory
```
cd $SYBASE
```
Source SYBASE.sh (Bourne shell) or SYBASE.csh (C shell).
```
source SYBASE.csh
```

Execute the runserver file:

$SYBASE/$SYBASE_ASE/install/RUN_server_name

In another window, change to the new $SYBASE directory.

Source SYBASE.sh (Bourne shell) or SYBASE.csh (C shell) in the new $SYBASE directory:

source SYBASE.csh

Run the pre-upgrade test on the old server using the preupgrade utility, located at $SYBASE/$SYBASE_ASE/upgrade, where $SYBASE and $SYBASE_ASE are the values for the Cluster Edition. Do not change the default packet size from 512 to 2048 until after the upgrade is complete.

Note: If during pre-upgrade the default network packet size is set to 2048 then you cannot login to finish the pre-upgrade on a 12.5.x server because there is no way to tell preupgrade to use 2048 bytes as a packet size.

Execute the following:
```
$SYBASE/$SYBASE_ASE/upgrade/preupgrade -Sserver_name -Uusername -Ppassword-I $OLD_SYBASE/interfaces
```
Where:
- $SYBASE_ASE – is the cluster edition of Adaptive Server
- If -U option is ignored, then -P option is for the system administrator's password.
Correct all errors from the output of the pre-upgrade test. Re-run preupgrade until it succeeds without errors.
Restart the old Adaptive Server, if required.

Run the reserved word check on the old Adaptive Server:

Install the Cluster Edition version of installupgrade:

isql -Usa -Ppassword -Sserver_name 
 -i$SYBASE/$SYBASE_ASE/scripts/installupgrade

Install the Cluster Edition version of usage.sql:

isql -Usa -Ppassword -Sserver_name 
 -i$SYBASE/$SYBASE_ASE/upgrade/usage.sql

Log in to the old Adaptive Server and execute sp_checkreswords on all databases:
```
1> use sybsystemprocs
2> go
1> sp_checkreswords
2> go
```
Correct any errors the reserved word check reveals.

Shut down the old Adaptive Server.

Copy the old Adaptive Server configuration file mycluster.cfg from the old $SYBASE directory to the new $SYBASE directory.

If you are upgrading from a 15.0.1 Cluster Edition or a 15.0.3 Cluster Edition to a 15.5 Cluster Edition server, skip this step. Complete this step if you are upgrading from a nonclustered server. Create the cluster input file. For example mycluster.inp:

#all input files must begin with a comment

[cluster]
name = mycluster
max instances = 2
master device = /dev/raw/raw101
config file = /sybase/server_name.cfg
interfaces path = /sybase/
traceflags =
primary protocol = udp
secondary protocol = udp

[management nodes]
hostname = blade1
hostname = blade2

[instance]
id = 1
name = server_name
node = blade1
primary address = blade1
primary port start = 38456
secondary address = blade1
secondary port start = 38466
errorlog = /sybase/install/server_name.log
config file = /sybase/server_name.cfg
interfaces path = /sybase/
traceflags =
additional run parameters =

[instance]
id = 2
name = server_name_ns2
node = blade2
primary address = blade2
primary port start = 38556
secondary address = blade2
secondary port start = 38566
errorlog = /sybase/install/server_name_ns2.log
config file = /sybase/server_name.cfg
interfaces path = /sybase/
traceflags =
additional run parameters =

For an example of what this input file must contain, see the Creating a Cluster Input File topic.

Note: The first instance’s server_name should be the name of the old server from which you are upgrading.

If you are upgrading from a 15.0.1 Cluster Edition or a or 15.0.3 Cluster Edition to a 15.5 Cluster Edition server, skip this step. Complete this step if you are upgrading from a nonclustered server. Add an additional entry to the interfaces file for each of the instances in your cluster input file (described in Step 9). See the Configuring the Interfaces File topic for more information.

Complete this step if you are upgrading from a nonclustered server. If you are upgrading from a 15.0.1 Cluster Edition or a or 15.0.3 Cluster Edition to a 15.5 Cluster Edition server, use the original quorum device and cluster input file, and specify --buildquorum=force to rebuild the quorum and to override the existing one. Determine the raw device used for the quorum device. For the version of the Cluster Edition, use a raw device on shared disks. Do not use a file-system device.

Create the quorum device and start the new instance with the old master device:

$SYBASE/$SYBASE_ASE/bin/dataserver\
--instance=server_name\
--cluster-input=mycluster.inp\
--quorum-dev=/dev/raw/raw102
--buildquorum
-M$SYBASE

Note: The server_name you indicate with the --instance parameter must be the name of the server from which you are upgrading, and the interfaces file must contain an entry for this instance. Any additional options such as -M must be present in the RUN_FILE as dataserver won’t read them from the quorum. For complete dataserver documentation see the Clusters Users Guide.

Run the upgrade utility, where instance_name is the first instance in your cluster that has the same name as the server from which you are upgrading:

$SYBASE/$SYBASE_ASE/upgrade/upgrade
  -S instance_name -Ppassword

If you are upgrading from a 15.0.1Cluster Edition or 15.0.3 Cluster Edition to a 15.5 Cluster Edition server, skip this step. Log in to the instance. Create the local system temporary database devices and local system temporary databases for each of the instances in your cluster. The syntax is:

create system temporary database database_name
		for instance instance_name on device_name = size

See the Setting Up Local System Temporary Databases topic for more information.

Shut down the instance. Log in to the instance with isql and issue:

shutdown instance_name

Restart the cluster.

$SYBASE/$SYBASE_ASE/bin/dataserver \
--instance=server_name\
--quorum-dev=/dev/raw/raw102\
-M$SYBASE

Log in to the Cluster Edition and execute sp_checkreswords on all of databases. For example, log in to the instance and execute:

1> use sybsystemprocs
2> go
1> sp_checkreswords
2> go

Correct any errors from the reserved word check.

Copy and modify the old run_server file to new directory. You must edit it to point to binaries in the correct $SYBASE directories:

Add this argument to the run_server file:--quorum-dev=<path to the quorum device>
Remove these options, as the information is now stored in the quorum device.
- -c
- -i
- -e
See the Creating the Runserver Files topic for more information.

Start each of instance in the cluster:

cd $SYBASE/$SYBASE_ASE/install
startserver -fRUN_server_name

Install the system procedures:

isql -Usa -Ppassword -Sserver_name
 -i$SYBASE/$SYBASE_ASE/scripts/installmaster

If Adaptive Server includes auditing, run installsecurity:

isql -Usa -P password -S server_name 
 -i$SYBASE/$SYBASE_ASE/scripts/installsecurity

Run installcommit:

isql -Usa -Ppassword -Sserver_name
 -i$SYBASE/$SYBASE_ASE/scripts/installcommit
