6.7.3 Updating IM databases in a cluster environment (for Windows)

If you have upgraded JP1/IM - Manager or applied a corrected version of JP1/IM - Manager in a cluster environment while using IM databases, you must update the IM databases in the cluster environment. Use the procedure described below to update IM databases.

This procedure assumes that the host on which the JP1/IM - Manager of a logical host is running is the active host and the host on which the JP1/IM - Manager is not running is the standby host.

To update IM databases in a cluster environment:

1. Execute the jimdbupdate command on the standby host:

   jimdbupdate -h logical-host-name

   • If the following message is output, perform the procedure beginning with step 3:

     KNAN11201-I The IM database service is the latest.

   • If the following message is output, perform the procedure beginning with step 2:

     KNAN11202-I The overwrite is necessary for the IM database.

2. Execute the jimdbupdate command to update the IM databases on the standby host:

   jimdbupdate -h logical-host-name -i

3. On the active host, stop JP1/IM - Manager Service and JP1/IM - Manager DB Cluster Service.

   JP1/IM - Manager Service on the logical host (service name that is displayed: JP1/IM-Manager_logical-host-name)

   JP1/IM - Manager DB Cluster Service on the logical host (service name that is displayed: JP1/IM-Manager DB Cluster Service_logical-host-name)

4. Execute the jimdbupdate command on the active host:

   jimdbupdate -h logical-host-name

   • If the following message is output, perform step 7:

     KNAN11201-I The IM database service is the latest.

   • If the following message is output, perform the procedure beginning with step 5:

     KNAN11202-I The overwrite is necessary for the IM database.

     KNAN11207-I An update of the table schema of an IM database service is required.

5. Execute the jimdbbackup command to back up the IM databases on the active host:

   jimdbbackup -h logical-host-name -o backup-file-name -m MAINT

6. Execute the jimdbupdate command to update the IM databases on the active host:

   jimdbupdate -h logical-host-name -i

7. On the active host, start JP1/IM - Manager Service and JP1/IM - Manager DB Cluster Service from the cluster software.

   JP1/IM - Manager Service on the logical host (service name that is displayed: JP1/IM-Manager_logical-host-name)

   JP1/IM - Manager DB Cluster Service on the logical host (service name that is displayed: JP1/IM-Manager DB Cluster Service_logical-host-name)

   Important

   Do not restore any IM database backup data that was obtained before the jimdbupdate command was executed into an IM database obtained after the jimdbupdate command has been executed.

   After you have executed the jimdbupdate command, execute the jimdbbackup command again to make a new backup.
