As usual, for me, it always extreme happy to play, install and test the newly release patch version. And again this time, I might be first person to play, install and test the HPOO 9.03:).
Today, I downloaded HPOO - 9.03 patch release and started to play with it in my VMs.
My HPSA VMs Configuration Details:
- 2 Oracle VMs:
RAM : 10GB
Hard Disk : 100GB
Oracle Version : Oracle 11g (11.1.0.7.0) Standard Edition
OS : RHEL 5 (64Bit)
-2 HPSA Core VMs:
RAM : 10GB
Hard Disk : 100GB
OS : RHEL 5 (64Bit)
Here are my upgrade tests:
* Upgrade a HPOO 9.02.002 standalone Linux OS core to HPOO 9.03, where the DB [MySQL] on the local VM.
* Upgrade a HPOO 9.02.002 standalone Linux OS core to HPOO 9.02.0002, where the DB [MySQL] on the remote database [on a different Linux OS VM].
* Upgrade a HPOO 9.02 standalone Linux OS core to HPOO 9.03, where the DB [Oracle] on the local VM.
* Upgrade a HPOO 9.02 standalone Linux OS core to HPOO 9.03, where the DB [Oracle] on the remote database [on a different Linux OS VM].
* Upgrade HPOO 9.02 Cluster cores [both are in RHEL5] to HPOO 9.03, where the 2 DB's [MySQL] on the remote databases [on two different Linux OS VM].
I also patched HPSA 9.03 on a cluster cores and standalone core [with local DBs and remote DBs] about 10 times. No failures faced.
After patch Upgrade, I tested a few build-in accelerator packs for HPOO flows, OS Flows, HPSA functions, it worked as expected. :) Nothing much to complaint or log a case with HP Support.
