Hi Admins,

Following a disaterous weekend trying to rolling upgrade a V5.0 cluster and rolling it all back again, I have been left with a LOT of files with tags like:

.mrg...<name>
.mrg..<name>
.new..<name>
.proto..<name>

Is it alright to remove these files? If so how to tell which ones?

Also I have <name>.PreUPD, <name>.PreMRG and so on.
Can these be removed?

Finally, I am unclear on the possibility of doing a static (not rolling) upgrade. If I take all the cluster members down and then bring one up at a time, upgrade, take it down again, and so on for all the servers, is this considered acceptable?

TIA

Lawrie
