Hi all,
Thanks to John Lanier, Tom Webster & Michael James Bradford. They
preferred to opt for rolling upgrade.
Following is the Link:

E.HTM
I went through step by step procedure in Chapter 7 & finally got the
success. It took almost 4-5 Hrs for executing all the 7 steps.

Thanks again.
Regards.
Vimal

Subject: Upgrade from TruCluster5.1 to 5.1B

Hi all,

Presently I have a single node TruCluster 5.1 using Memory Channel
acting as a development Server. Due to some pre-requisite of Oracle 10G
we need to upgrade this cluster to TruCluster5.1B.
Since this is a Development server, Data is more important than the
downtime.

Can you please suggest me the best way to upgrade this Cluster i.e.-
a. Scraping local basic OS disk & re-install Tru64Unix with Cluster
components for 5.1B &
   then mounting old data_domains/Disks. Is this safe? Do I need to
create some CDSLs etc.?
b. Rolling upgrade from 5.1 to 5.1A & then 5.1B

If possible, Please do let me know some links for best practices.

Thanks & regards.
Vimal
