You must upgrade Dynamic File Services on each node in turn in order to lay down the information that is stored locally on each server. Specify the same path for the destination folder on a shared drive when you install on each node.
IMPORTANT:The Windows cluster configuration, management, terminology, and tools can vary depending on the version of Windows Server you are running and on how you set up your cluster and cluster resources. Adjust the instructions in this section as needed for your cluster environment.
For all issues related to Windows cluster configuration and management, see the Microsoft documentation for your Windows Server operating system in the Microsoft TechNet Library.
The following installation description assumes a two-node failover cluster with servers named Node1 and Node2. Modify the procedure as necessary if you have more nodes.
Use the following procedure to upgrade DynamicFS on the currently active node (Node1):
Log in to Node 1 as the Administrator user or as a user with Administrator privileges.
In an Active Directory environment, log in as a domain user with Domain Admin rights.
Download the 64-bit (x64) architecture version of the DswSetup-*.exe file to a folder on the server or the client computer where you want to install it.
Double-click the file to start the InstallShield Wizard, then click to permit the upgrade.
In the InstallShield Wizard, click to begin the upgrade.
If you are notified that files are in use for the Dynamic File Service and Service Controller, click to allow them to be automatically closed and restarted.
Click .
Dynamic File Services automatically modifies the format of the pair and policy databases and log files to use any new or modified fields.
Click to automatically restart the computer now.
Use the Windows Cluster Administrator tool to stop the Dynamic File Service by taking its cluster resource offline.
Continue with Section 4.4.4, Moving the Cluster Resource from Node1 to Node2.
On Node1, use the Windows Cluster Administrator tool to move the following cluster resources from Node1 to Node2:
The shared disk that contains the Dynamic File Services software
The Dynamic File Service
Ensure that the same drive letter is used to mount the shared disk on Node2 that was used for Node1, such as S:\.
Continue with Installing and Setting Up Dynamic File Services on Node2.
Use the following procedure to upgrade DynamicFS on the currently active node (Node2):
Log in to Node2 as the Administrator user or as a user with Administrator privileges.
In an Active Directory environment, log in as a domain user with Domain Admin rights.
Upgrade DynamicFS on Node2 as described in Step 2 to Step 8 in Section 4.4.2, Installing and Setting Up Dynamic File Services on Node1.
(Optional) On Node2, use the Windows Cluster Administrator tool to move the Dynamic File Service and disk resources from Node2 to Node1.
Log in to the active cluster node as the Administrator user or as a user with Administrator privileges.
Use the Windows Cluster Administrator tool to start the Dynamic File Service by bringing its cluster resource online.
Perform the steps described in Section 5.5, Post-Upgrade Changes and Tasks.
