====== WPAR upgrade / migration ====== OS upgrade is always done from LPAR (Global) except particular case like root WPAR, or version WPAR. ===== WPAR upgrade ===== First upgrade the Global LPAR, then use the command syncwpar syncwpar -A : for all WPAR sycnwpar wpar1 : only for the wpar1 syncwpar -T wpar1 : for debug mode ===== WPAR migration ===== First migrate the Global LPAR for example from AIX 6.1 to 7.1. Then do a syncwpar which will start a migration (using background commands like migwpar, syncroot) on the WPAR from AIX 6.1 to 7.1 **If WPAR migration failed** In case of partial migration, migration will not return a right exit code, the the WPAR can't be started, except in maintenance mode : startwpar -m wpar1 If you retry a syncwpar, you have message like: WPAR is not migratable. wpar1 version = 7 lpar1 version = 7 In this case, ERROR WPAR is at same level as Global LPAR, but syncwpar can't be redo, then do: # mount /wpars/wpar1 # ODMDIR=/wpars/wpar1/etc/objrepos odmdelete -q name=bos.rte -o lpp # umount /wpars/wpar1 # syncwpar wpar1 # start wpar1
