hello all the thought was to take a shot at a v11 in place migration without doing a complete restore of secondary (HDR). we are on v10.fc9 and are going to v11.fc7 running AIX 5.30 under a HACMP cluster on partitions on i595. thinking to just shut down the secondary server (not breaking replication) and then after the conversion is done on the primary, bring the secondary server back up (pointing to the new v11 environment but having it still think it is a replicated secondary server) and see if HDR is successful. any thoughts, comments, tips on this? thanks tom

Just one comment, it won't work. You'll have to install the new version on both servers in a new directory, upgrade the primary (shutdown, change INFORMIXDIR and PATH to point to the new version, restart), take an archive, and perform a physical restore on the secondary to upgrade the secondary.
