Performing the Pre-Upgrade Procedure

Complete these instructions to perform the pre-upgrade procedure.

CAUTION

This section must be performed using the /tmp directory as specified. Substituting the /tmp directory with another in this section will result in failure to upgrade with data files in place.

To perform the pre-upgrade procedure:

  1. Log in to UNIX as root.

  2. Start D3 or enter D3 using the shell command:

d3 -0 -l

where the last option (-l) is a lowercase L, not the number 1 (one). The -l option is required if any non-root user is indicated in the pick0 configuration file.

  1. Confirm that there is enough overflow space available to perform the upgrade. Enter:

povf

Results similar to below are returned.

overflow: 189721 reserve: 2048 blocks: 173 b-tree levels: 12 leaves: 11

If the overflow amount is less than 5000, there is not enough space available to run the upgrade process with data files in place. In this case, go to Upgrading with a File-Save Tape.

  1. Ensure that all D3 users are logged off.

  2. Set maxusers to single user. Enter:

maxusers (s

  1. From the dm account, enter:
