Verifying the Cluster Edition Server for Upgrade

Test to make sure the server is ready for the upgrade process.

1. Start sybcluster. For example, enter:

   sybcluster -U uafadmin -P password -F "mynode:8999"

   where:

   • -U – is the login name for the Sybase Control Center agent. "uafadmin" is the default value.
   • -P – is the SCC agent password.
   • -F – specifies the node on which the Adaptive Server is running and the listening port for the SCC agent. The default value is 9999.

     In this example, the node name is "mynode" and the SCC Agent Framework listening port is 8999.

     Note: You must specify the node on which the upgrade is to take place.
2. Start the verification. From the sybcluster command line, enter:

   upgrade server server_name checkonly

   For example:

   upgrade server myserver checkonly

3. Respond to the upgrade server checkonly prompts.
   If:

   • The verification process succeeds, you can upgrade the server
   • sybcluster displays error messages, resolve all error messages resulting from the check before upgrading the server
