Hello everyone,
I have installed livecache 7.7.02 BUILD 008-123-149-275 in MSCS and planning to upgrade the patch level to KERNEL 7.7.04 BUILD 029-123-196-543.
My installation type is,
Independent Programs directory - local hard disk
Independent Data Directory - distributed disk
Instance Dependent directory - local hard disk
So note Note 508979 - Upgrade of SAP DB/MaxDB/liveCache w/ Cluster MSCS Var.1 applies in my case.
However, need help in understanding one section of this note,
Points 14 and 15 talk about notes on how to run SDBUPD, however do not specify whether SDBUPD is to be run on node B. After manually copying the files to node B, as described in the note, do we still need to run upgrade (SDBUPD) on node 2 ?
Also, It would be great to have some more reading on Livecache upgrades in MSCS environment.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Kiran
Hello Kiran,
in previous step note says to switch the cluster group to node B,
and also you have already upgraded software in node A before (with sdbinst)
so SDBUPD shouldbe run in node B in step 14
yes you do need to upgrade node B as there is only few files copied to node B manualy

Hello Ivan,
Thanks for the reply.
I started upgrading livecache patch as per note 508979. Completed the patch upgrade node 1 using SDBINST. Completed all the steps till step 13. On step 14, I started SDBUPD on node B.
At this stage I get following message on command prompt,
Install>SDBUPD -d MLP -u control,<password>

The installation remains stuck after this message.
I ensured xserver and sap instance were stopped before installation. Tried rebooting the server (Node B), but same result.
Pls can you suggest something on this.

Hello Kiran,
running sdbinst can work as workaround but do not forget to upgrade system tables after runnign
sdbinst. And also sdbinst can be used only and only whne doing minor upgrade.
