Supported Platforms for SLES Upgrade/SLES Move Op
Only platforms valid for SLES11 are supported for a SLES10 to SLES11 Move Op.
The following are node types supported for SLES Move Ops:
- TPA
- VM&F SWS
- Some TMS node types such as Data Mover and Unity
Some platforms support SLES10 but not SLES11; the SLES11 Move Op is prohibited on these platforms.
Current SLES Environment Setup
For upgrading the OS from the current SLES environment to SLES10 SP3 or SLES11 SP1:
- Ensure that both BEs are present on system
- Install the current_SLES version of the TDput package in the current BE
- Install the current_SLES versions of the teradata-vmf, teradata-mbr, teradata-linux-config, teradata-osutils packages on all nodes in the current BE using TDput. For SLES10 to SLES11 moves, also install the current version of the teradata-osmigration package.
- Clean up any log from the previous move effort, if there was one:
- cat /proc/mounts shows all mounts. Unmount everything under /tmp/sles9_10 (or /tmp/sles10_11), if any.
- Remove /tmp/sles9_10 (or /tmp/sles10_11) folder, if any.
- Ensure /var/opt/teradata has at least 3 GB of space (du -hs /var/opt/teradata - shows used filesystem size).
