HACMP levels must be the same on all nodes in a cluster.

Subject: HACMP upgrades

Folks,

We're looking at moving some B80's from AIX 4.3.3 to 5.2, and upgrading
HACMP from v4.3 to v5.1.

The setup is running Oracle Parallel Server, with one box able to write to
the SSA-attached drives at a time.

The question is this: is it possible to shut down one box, upgrade AIX and
HACMP, then shut down the databases and the other box, bring the databases
up on the upgraded box, and then update the other machine?

I'm wondering what kind of "gotcha's" there are, if any, that I'll need to
look at or figure out...

Thanks!
