KB 087 – Upgrade SP 5.09 to SP 6.00
Please follow steps below to upgrade the PowerConnect from SP 5.09 to SP 6.00:
- Stop collector job;
- Wait until all pending metrics are sent to Splunk;
- Stop all jobs;
- Clean-up all metric tables using the Goto->Truncate cluster functionality. This is needed, since the metric serialization approach is changed, and it might cause issues once uploading is started after upgrade;
- Use SPAM to apply 5.10;
- Use SAINT to upgrade to 6.0;
- Transport the hotfixes (STMS) for SP 6.00 if any shared;
- Activate BC set /BNWVS/BCSET_500 (Tcode=SCPR20)
- Start PowerConnect Background jobs.
