Patching NNMi under HA

To apply a patch for NNMi, work in High Availability (HA) maintenance mode. Follow these steps:

  1. Determine which node in the HA cluster is active:

    • Windows:

      %NnmInstallDir%\misc\nnm\ha\nnmhaclusterinfo.ovpl -group <resource_group> -activeNode
    • Linux:

      $NnmInstallDir/misc/nnm/ha/nnmhaclusterinfo.ovpl -group <resource_group> -activeNode
  2. On each passive node, put the NNMi HA resource group into maintenance mode as described in Putting an HA Resource Group into Maintenance Mode.

    Include the NORESTART keyword.

  3. On each passive node, apply the appropriate patches.

    Caution Never run the ovstart or ovstop commands on a secondary (backup) cluster node.

  4. On all passive nodes, take the NNMi HA resource group out of maintenance mode as described in Removing an HA Resource Group from Maintenance Mode.

  5. Fail over to a passive node.

  6. Go to the node that was previously active (in step 1), and then follow these steps:

    1. Put the NNMi HA resource group of the node into maintenance mode as described in Putting an HA Resource Group into Maintenance Mode.

      Include the NORESTART keyword.

    2. On the node, apply the appropriate patches.

      Caution Never run the ovstart or ovstop commands on a secondary (backup) cluster node.

    3. On the node, take the NNMi HA resource group out of maintenance mode as described in Removing an HA Resource Group from Maintenance Mode.
