1. Check the current version.

Login to SCP go to Resources > Management > System Maintenance and Upgrade > Upgrade to view the current SCP version.

2. Check with aDeploy.

• Platform Type: Select SCP.

• Username: Enter sysadm for SCP6.3.0 and above or root for other versions below SCP6.3.0.

• SSH Port: Enter 22345. For versions earlier than SCP6.1.0, enter 22.

If an error indicates that the SSH service port needs to be enabled, go to Resources > Management > System Maintenance and Upgrade > Remote Maintenance and click Enable.

3. Check active/standby SCP.

Before upgrading, check whether SCP is in active/standby mode. Then, log in to the management portal of SCP, and go to Reliability > Platform Status Check > SCP Failover to check whether there is a standby node. If yes, upgrade the standby node first, then upgrade the active node.

4. Check before upgrading for disaster recovery scenarios.

In disaster recovery scenarios, there is no particular upgrade sequence for primary and secondary sites (they can be upgraded simultaneously). Before upgrading, check the current tasks of primary and secondary sites to ensure that no disaster recovery-related task is in progress. It is recommended to manually stop ongoing disaster recovery tasks (if any) or stop the DR policy before upgrading. After the upgrade, ensure the platform runs properly and start disaster recovery tasks.

5. Check if there is any ongoing task.

If there is an ongoing task in Tasks, please wait for the task to be finished before upgrading, or manually cancel the task and start the task after the upgrade.

6. Check the SCP VMs disk number and capacity.

Check whether SCP has four disks and whether the capacity of disk 4 is 400 GB or more. If disk four does not exist or its capacity is less than 400 GB, add a disk or expand the capacity for an existing disk before upgrading.
