Perform Pre-Upgrade Tasks

Before you start upgrading CA CSM, perform the following tasks:

1. In the CA CSM web-based interface, navigate to the Settings tab, click Mount Point Management under System Settings, and select Unmount at Shutdown. Click Apply.
2. Shut down CA CSM address spaces of the previous CA CSM version.
3. Depending on your file system configuration, choose one of the following options:
   • For a single CA CSM file system configuration:
     1. Unmount the CA CSM file systems for the previous version.
     2. Create a CA CSM file system, and mount it at the previous version mount point (that is, /u/users/msmserv).
     3. Create the following directories: mpm, msm, msmruntime, msminstall.
     4. Create the new mount point for the previous version: /u/users/msmserv/previous_version_number. The path node previous_version_number must start with a letter followed by two digits, for example, V50.
     5. Mount the CA CSM previous version file system to this new mount point that you created in step 3d.
     6. Edit the following parameters in the /u/users/msmserv/previous_version_number/msm/CEGPHFS/
        MSMSetupOptionsFile.properties options file to point to new version directory paths:

            MSMPATH=/u/users/msmserv/previous_version_number/msm
            RunTimeUSSPath=/u/users/msmserv/previous_version_number/msmruntime
        

   • For a multiple CA CSM file system configuration:
     1. Create the following new version directories:

            /u/users/msmserv/version_number/msm
            /u/users/msmserv/version_number/msmruntime
            /u/users/msmserv/version_number/msminstall
        

     2. Create the following new version file systems: msm, msmruntime, and msminstall.
     3. Mount the file systems to the new version directories at /u/users/msmserv/version_number/msm, /u/users/msmserv/version_number/msmruntime, and /u/users/msmserv/version_number/msminstall.
