Applying maintenance to an active management server

If you need to apply maintenance to an active management server, you can reinstall Copy Services Manager on the server without affecting the session.

1. If the heartbeat is enabled, disable it:
   1. In the menu bar, click Settings > Advanced Tools.
   2. On the Advanced Tools page, click Disable Heartbeat.
2. On the standby server, Server 2, issue a take-over. This makes Server 2 the active server. It is possible that the original active server, Server 1, is still listed on the Server 2 Management Servers page. If so, select Remove Standby.
3. Disable the heartbeat on Server 2, in case there are any problems.
4. Upgrade Copy Services Manager on Server 1.
   Note: If no changes have been made to the configuration while Server 1 was being upgraded, steps 5 and 6 are not necessary.
5. When Copy Services Manager is running on Server 1, log into Server 2 and set Server 1 as the standby server for Server 2.

   This step copies the configuration from Server 2 to Server 1. This process takes a few minutes.

6. When the management servers status is synchronized, issue a take-over on Server 1.
   This makes Server 1 an active server, able to control sessions.

   Note: It is possible that Server 2 is still listed on the Server 1 Management Servers page. If this is the case, select Remove Standby.
7. Disable the heartbeat on Server 1 to make sure this active server does not have any problems.
   Note: If you do not need to upgrade Copy Services Manager on Server 2, skip the next step.
8. Upgrade Copy Services Manager on Server 2.
9. On Server 2, go to the Management Servers page and select the Set This Server As Standby option, entering the information for Server 1. When this step is complete, Server 1 is the active server, and Server 2 is the standby server.
10. When you are confident that the active server is running without any problems, enable the heartbeat again, if needed.
