Following my previous Post regarding Bug with Rolling Patch 3, I made some more test and here after the solution:
If new node is powered up with the other (with RP3) down, it works
When the new node is UP, if I start the 2 other (with RP3) they did not come up and loop on Starting main app…
So the way to add a new Node (without RP3) is the following:
- Shutdown all the running Nodes
- Import the Template file
- Boot the new XMS
- Configure the base settings and reboot the XMS
- Connect to Web Admin Portal (https://IP:4443)
- Install the RP3 (in Settings / Release Management)
- Reboot the XMS from the CLI
- Verify that the patch as been applied correctly in the Web Admin Portal under Settings / Release Management
- Boot the powered down Nodes
It’s strange as I remember before RP3 it was possible to add a new Node without the need to power down the other Nodes.
Don’t forget to ad the new node in your NetScaler configuration
Info: you can’t have Node with different RP version Up at the same time!
Note: Those information are provided based on my own experience.
