We have detected old version of Calypso
installation on this machine that have to be upgraded to version 8.0.0 before
you can install new packages or configure new virtual machines.
Please read the following carefully before moving on. 1.If there are existing cxbf devices configured and mounted on linux machine, please make sure all of them are removed from the /etc/fstab file before reboot (after upgrade). You can mount them back after reboot by redetecting in the volume explorer first. 2. If a driver is upgraded, the machine must be rebooted after the upgrade is finished to ensure the new driver is correctly loaded. 3. If you are upgrading a subsystem (except MA) that is installed on Virtual Machine only, make sure you also install CVGxIDA (or CVGxOES for CVGxOES upgrade) on its Physical Machine. Please type YES to indicate you read and understood the above warnings: YES |

Most of Calypso processes run with root privileges, but some are launched by databases and inherit database access rights. To make sure that registry and log files can be written to by both kinds of processes we can either make such files world-writeable or we can grant write access only to processes belonging to a particular group, e.g. a "Calypso" or a "dba" group. We highly recommend now that you create a
new user group and enter its name in the next setup screen. If you choose not to
assign a dedicated group to If you're planning to backup Oracle DB you should use "oinstall" group. Would you like to assign a specific group to Calypso? [yes] no |

Certain Calypso packages can be associated
with a virtual IP, or in other words, installed on a "virtual machine" belonging
to some cluster. At any given time the virtual machine's services and IP address
are active on only one of the cluster's servers. The virtual machine can
"fail-over" from one server to another, which includes stopping services and
deactivating IP address on the first server and activating the IP
address/services on the other server.
Currently you have Calypso installed on physical node stone.company.com. Now you have a choice of either adding another package to the existing installation or configure Calypso on a virtual machine for use in a cluster. 1) Add another package to
