SOFTPAQ DOWNLOAD
1. Download the softpaq to a directory on your hard drive and change
to that directory. The file that is downloaded is a self-extracting
executable with a filename based on the softpaq number above.
2. From the download directory, execute the softpaq by clicking on
the softpaq file, SP12962.exe. When executed with no parameters,
files are extracted into the current directory. To extract the files
into a different directory, specify the complete path of the new
directory as a parameter:
SP12962 <path>
3. Enter "Y" to confirm and files are unpacked into the download
directory or the directory specified.
The following files will be extracted:
AUTORUN.INF
CPCSETUP.EXE
CPCSETUP.INF
CPQARRAY.INF
CPQARRAY.SYS
CPQPSS.DLL
CPQPSSEX.DEU
CPQPSSEX.DLL
CPQPSSEX.ESN

SETUP.EXE
4. After the files have been created, you may delete the
self-extracting file downloaded in step 1.
BEFORE THE INSTALLATION
1. You need to know what version of the CPC/S100 (also known as the
HA/S100) product is currently running on your servers.
2. If you are not sure which CPC/S100 version you are running, go to
Start/Settings/Control Panel and click on the Add/Remove Programs icon. Then click on the Install/Uninstall tab. Scroll through the selections on this box to find the "Compaq CPC/S100 x.x" entry. This tells you the CPC/S100 version on your machine.
3. If the version is less than v1.10, (i.e. 1.00 or 1.01) go directly
to the instructions for SOFTPAQ INSTALLATION A.
4. If your version is 1.10, or 1.10a (CD version), go directly to the
instructions for SOFTPAQ INSTALLATION B, for removal and installation
instructions.
SOFTPAQ INSTALLATION A
The following instructions only apply if the current version is less
than v1.10
1. Move all cluster resources and groups containing CPC/S100 resources
to the cluster server node being upgraded, using Microsoft Cluster
Administrator. When started, the softpaq executable will prompt you
to do this if it is not done already. It is recommended to move one
group at a time, waiting until the group appears on-line before
moving the next group.
2. Shut down other open applications running on the node before you
start the upgrade.
3. From the directory in which the softpaq files were extracted,
execute the Setup executable: Setup.exe [ENTER]
4. You will be prompted with two options: OPTION A) Update CPC/S100
to current version -OR- Option B) Uninstall CPC/S100. Choose
OPTION A and follow the instructions on the screen.
5. Click FINISH to complete the CPC/S100 update. You may need to
wait several moments for this process to complete.
6. Choose to reboot the node when prompted. Wait several moments
after the reboot for any upgrade activities to complete.
7. If you want to ensure that the new CPC/S100 version is installed
after the system reboots and the upgrade is complete, go to the
c:\WINNT\cluster folder. Check that the date of the cpqpss.dll file
is 05/22/00.
8. Repeat steps 1-7 of SOFTPAQ INSTALLATION A to upgrade the
remaining node in the cluster.
SOFTPAQ INSTALLATION B
The following instructions only apply if you are currently running
v1.10 or v1.10a (CD version).
If your servers have CPC/S100 v1.10 currently installed, you will
need to remove the existing HA/S100 product.
1. Using Microsoft Cluster Administrator, perform a manual Move Group
of all resources located on the server being upgraded to the other
node in the cluster.
NOTE: If you start the upgrade without moving the groups manually,
they will be moved automatically, but this is not recommended because
of unpredictable results while uninstalling software.
WARNING!: If you are now upgrading the second node in the cluster,
ensure that you move the groups, one at a time, and that the group
being moved is allowed to come up before the next group is moved.
If too many groups are moved at one time, it could inadvertently
result in both nodes hanging or locking up.
2. Close any open applications running on the node to be upgraded,
including Microsoft Cluster Administrator.
3. Go to the Control Panel applet and select Add/Remove programs. In
the window, highlight Microsoft Cluster Server and click the
Add/Remove button.
4. You will be prompted with a message that the Microsoft Cluster
Server will be removed. Click OK to continue the removal.
5. A MicroSoft Cluster Server setup message will also prompt you to
remove the Compaq ProLiant Cluster Series S Model 100 software.
Press YES to continue. This is a standard Microsoft Cluster Server
message that does not apply to the CPC/S100 uninstall.
NOTE: You must remove the Microsoft Cluster Server (MSCS) first.
Attempting to remove the Compaq ProLiant Cluster HA/S100 software
first will result in a message indicating that the removal of this
product is not allowed due to the quorum disk being a part of a
CPC/S100 resource.
6. Once the Microsoft Cluster Server has been removed, you will be
prompted to reboot. Click CANCEL.
7. Select Compaq ProLiant Cluster Series S Model 100 in the
Install/Uninstall box, and click on the Add/Remove button.
8. Once the S100 software has been removed you will be prompted to
reboot. Click CANCEL.
9. Go to the node in the cluster that currently owns all groups and
resources, and evict the node that is being upgraded. This can be
accomplished by launching the Microsoft Cluster Administrator
utility, right clicking on the node being upgraded (it's status will
show DOWN) and select Evict Node. You will be prompted to confirm
your choice. Select YES.
10. Return to the node being upgraded and manually reboot the server.
11. Log back into the node being upgraded after it reboots. From the
directory in which the SoftPaq files are extracted, execute the
setup file: Setup.exe [ENTER]
12. The setup program will examine your server to detect previous
versions of the software or Microsoft Cluster Server. Since both
have already been removed, you will be prompted for the file
D:\MSCS\CLUSTER\I386\SETUP.EXE, where "D:" is the drive letter of
your CD-ROM, from the NT Server 4.0, Enterprise Edition 2 of 2 CD.
Insert the CD and click NEXT.
13. MSCS will be installed. When asked to select the operation to
perform, choose "Join an existing cluster" and click NEXT.
14. Enter the name of the cluster that you are rejoining. Follow
the prompts to complete the MSCS installation. After installation
has finished, you will be prompted to reboot. Click on "Ok" to
allow the node to reboot.
NOTE: The cluster name can be viewed by either: 1) Browsing the list
of available cluster names -or- 2) Looking at the Title Bar of the
Cluster Administrator on the other node.
15. Once the node has come back up and you have logged in, the
S100 installation process will continue. You must then select the
Drive/Controller Assignments. This requires that you choose which
controllers will control which drive sets. When you select a drive
set, a drop-down list will appear with the controller selections.
Use the assignments which are recomended next to the drive letters.
WARNING!: After the Drive/Controller assignments are made, and the
installation process is complete, you will be prompted to run a Move
Group test. Select NO. Running the Move Group test at this point
can cause unpredictable results including locking up and requiring
a reboot.
16. If you want to ensure that the new HA/S100 version is installed
after the upgrade is complete, go to the c:\WINNT\cluster folder.
Check that the date of the cpqpss.dll file is 05/22/00.
17. If you will be running Microsoft Windows NT Service Pack 4 or
higher, you will need to reinstall it at this time, to return your
system to the proper configuration after reinstalling the Microsoft
Cluster Server.
18. Repeat steps 1 - 17 of the SOFTPAQ INSTALLATION B section above
to upgrade the remaining node in the cluster.
