26Picture Perfect 4.6 Enterprise EditionUser ManualIntroductionThe purpose of the process described in the following sections is to upgrade a Picture PerfectEnterprise Edition version 4.0 or 4.5.1 to version 4.6. At the end of the process, all servers areinstalled with the new version, are communicating, and are synchronizing global data records withthe network host server (also referred to as nethost, top level host, or master server).PrerequisitesThe following items have to be in place before proceeding with the upgrade of Picture Perfect 4.0/4.5.1 to 4.6 (also refer to Picture Perfect 4.6 Installation Manual, Chapter 3, “Upgrade checklist forPicture Perfect v4.0 to v4.6”):1 Media kit Picture Perfect media kit 4.6.2 Licenses Save a copy of the Picture Perfect 4.0 or 4.5.1 licenses (/cas/.PP.key) for those serversthat need to be upgraded and request new Picture Perfect 4.6 licenses from UTC Fire &Security. If you are currently running Picture Perfect 4.5.1, you can re-use the licenses forPicture Perfect 4.6; no new licenses are required.3 Database table sizes Keep a copy of the database sizes as a reference and to serve as a foundation to grow thesystem. The table size information can be found in the following files:/cas/db/backup/table_size.dat (table sizes with reference to table IDs)/cas/db/backup/table_desc.dat (table names with reference of table IDs).4 Database and microcontroller dataintegrity5 Target server OSinstallationTo expedite the upgrade and avoid any inconvenience during the database conversionprocess, we recommend running the following utilities:/cas/bin/chkchars.sh This utility reports any Picture Perfect illegal characters./cas/bin/vmicroThis utility reports any micro table misconfigurations.If you are planning to reuse or provide new servers to install Picture Perfect 4.6, make surethe operating system version installed is Linux Red Hat 5.6 for Dell servers or AIX version 6.1TL6 for IBM RISC servers.6 Server connectivity Make sure all servers participating in the upgrade process are connected to the network andreachable from each other.If optional spare servers are used, make sure they can connect to the source (old version)and target (new version) servers, since we will be transferring data files back and forth.7 Database freeze Once the upgrade process has begun, we strongly recommend to stop making changes tothe database servers. This assures minimum impact to database synchronization between allservers during the installation. If, however, database changes (not related to Historytransactions) are required during the upgrade time, these changes must be written down sothat they can be applied in the new system with replication and synchronization.Note: Please see section FAQs on page 97 for more detail.8 Micro controllermaintenanceThe minimum micro firmware versions required with Picture Perfect 4.6 are as follows:Micro 5/PXN: 4.0.3Micro 5/PXN+: R113Direct Door: R113Note: We strongly recommend using the currently shipped micro controller hex codeversion.
Chapter 3Upgrading Picture Perfect version 4.0/4.5.1 to 4.6279 Optional:RecommendedSpare servers fordatabase conversion10 Optional:Upgrade from AIX toLinuxTo allow the current system to continue in production, expedite the conversion process, andminimize down time, two Spares, properly sized to hold the current databases, are highlyrecommended.For this item, Picture Perfect 4.0 Service Pack 3 Quick Fix 9 must be available.Check the port table max(id) values. The limits are 2000 for AIX and 1024 for Linux.11 Server readiness After nethost and subhosts are installed with netlan and subhost respectively, all serversconfigured in the host table (GUI host form), must be available (ping, ssh and databaseready), before running hostconfig. Otherwise, hostconfig will not let you proceed.Note:If there is a reason to have a server down while running hostconfig, remove thatserver from the installation by removing it temporarily from the host table (GUI hostform).System layoutFigure 3.
