Upgrading an AFM-DR system

Complete the following steps to upgrade an AFM-DR system:

  1. Stop replication from the AFM-DR primary site to the AFM-DR secondary site.
  2. Upgrade the AFM-DR secondary site. If IBM Storage Scale does not automatically start, restart IBM Storage Scale.
  3. Restart replication from the AFM-DR primary site to the AFM-DR secondary site.
  4. When the primary and secondary sites are synchronized, fail over to the secondary site.
  5. Upgrade the AFM-DR primary site. If IBM Storage Scale does not automatically start, restart IBM Storage Scale.
  6. When the two sites are again synchronized, fail over back to the original AFM-DR primary site.
  7. Run the mmchconfig release=LATEST and mmchfs -V full commands on both clusters.
