Upgrading the Old Server Using an Input File

After successfully completing the verification procedure you can upgrade the server using an input file.

1. Start sybcluster. For example, enter:

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

2. Start the upgrade. For example, enter:

   upgrade server myserver file /data/myserver_ce.xml

   In this example, /data/myserver_ce.xml is the configuration file created during the validation procedure.

   Note: The configuration file is similar to that used by sybcluster to create a cluster. See the Creating and Starting the Cluster topic.
3. sybcluster displays these prompts:
   
   1. Enter the name of an sa login on server server_name [sa]Press Enter to accept the default, or enter the name of another user with sa privileges on the target server.
   2. Enter a password for the sa login.
   
   sybcluster begins the upgrade procedure, displays informational messages as the upgrade proceeds, and confirms the success of the upgrade.
