Upgrading Management Server in high availability environment

Last published : Jul 06, 2026
Before you upgrade InfoScale Operations Manager in the high availability environment, keep in mind the following:
  • The SFM_Services, the SFM_SStore, and the SFM_Xprtld service groups should be online on one of the nodes of InfoScale Operations Manager in the high availability environment, which is the active node.
  • InfoScale recommends that you take a backup of the Management Server data.
    Note: You must upgrade the active node before you upgrade the slave nodes.
To upgrade Management Server in high availability environment to 9.2
  1. Follow the steps to upgrade Management Server on the active node, and then, on the slave nodes.
After the upgrade on the active node, the SFM_Services service group, and the SFM_SStore service group, are in a frozen state.
You must upgrade all the slave nodes before you unfreeze the service groups on the active node to prevent issues during failover.
  1. To unfreeze the service groups on the active node, run the following command:
    • On a UNIX host:
/opt/VRTSsfmcs/config/vcs/sfmha start
  • On a Windows host:
"installdir\VRTSsfmh\bin\perl.exe" "installdir\VRTSsfmcs\config\vcs\sfmha" start
where, installdir is the installation directory of Management Server.
  1. In the console, verify that the SFM_Services, the SFM_SStore, and the SFM_Xprtld service groups are online on the active node.
