Upgrading to PowerPath 4.0
This section describes how to upgrade to PowerPath 4.0 from an
earlier version of PowerPath.
About Upgrading
You can upgrade to PowerPath 4.0 from the following releases:
◆ PowerPath 3.0.x
◆ PowerPath 2.1
To upgrade from PowerPath 1.5 or 2.0, you must first upgrade to PowerPath
2.1 or 3.0.x and then upgrade to PowerPath 4.0.
After upgrading from PowerPath 2.0 to PowerPath 2.1 or 3.0.x, you must
restore your configuration by running the following command:
powermt load file=/etc/powermt.custom.pre-pp2.1.0. Then
upgrade to PowerPath 4.0.
Uninstalling the Earlier
Version
Before upgrading to PowerPath 4.0, you must uninstall the earlier
version of PowerPath. Follow the instructions in the documentation
for that version. Note, however, that you need not reboot the host after you
uninstall the earlier version.
Upgrading from PowerPath 2.1: Before you uninstall PowerPath 2.1, search
the file /etc/profile for the following string: end of additions. If you
find that string, replace it with the following string: done additions.
Licenses The upgrade preserves your existing PowerPath license. You need
not reenter license information.
Configuration Files With the release of PowerPath 4.0, PowerPath configuration files
have changed in both content and number. The upgrade converts
your PowerPath 3.0.x or 2.1 configuration files to the newer formats.
The old configuration files are saved in
/etc/emc/emcpxarchive.
