The following document describes the procedure used to upgrade the EGATE application Servers in the MDC data center.

The first phase of this process is to verify the current cluster configuration and ensure stability of the cluster before proceeding with the upgrade.

The second phase of this process is to manually fail-over each EGATE application server to the hot-standby node, one at a time, upgrading each unoccupied system as we go.

Ray Meachum will open bridge line at 05:00.

Bridge Line:

PhoneNbr: 866.844.3871
Passcode: 675840

Notify DSAM that work is beginning on the EGATE production application servers. Contact EGATE LOS team and also notify Ray Meachum.
