11.2 Notes about upgrading

This section describes the points to be noted when upgrading HiRDB under a multi-HiRDB environment.

Organization of this section
(1) Upgrading all HiRDBs at the same time
(2) Upgrading only some of the HiRDBs
(3) Using JP1/Software Distribution

(1) Upgrading all HiRDBs at the same time

The following shows an overview of the procedure for upgrading all HiRDBs at the same time in a multi-HiRDB environment. For details about how to upgrade, see 1.3 Upgrading HiRDB.

To upgrade all HiRDBs:

  1. Delete all of the existing versions of HiRDB from the OS using the pdsetup d command.
  2. Install the new version(s) of HiRDB.
  3. Register all of the new version of HiRDB in the OS using the pdsetup command.

(2) Upgrading only some of the HiRDBs

The following shows an overview of the procedure for upgrading only some of the HiRDBs in a multi-HiRDB environment. For details about how to upgrade, see 1.3 Upgrading HiRDB.

To upgrade only some of the HiRDBs:

  1. Delete the HiRDBs being upgraded from the OS using the pdsetup -d command. For those HiRDBs that are not to be upgraded, be sure not to enter y in response to the message that is displayed after the execution of the pdsetup -d command.
  2. Install the new version of HiRDB.
  3. Register the upgraded HiRDBs in the OS using the pdsetup command.

(3) Using JP1/Software Distribution

If you are using JP1/Software Distribution to distribute HiRDB online, HiRDB cannot be registered automatically in the OS (execution of the pdsetup command) after HiRDB is distributed.
