ADOP CUTOVER (Reducing Time)

What can I do to reduce the time required for cutover?

It is important to distinguish between the time needed for the whole cutover phase, and the downtime period within the phase.

The actual downtime (during which users cannot log in) is significantly shorter than the whole phase.

To help reduce the overall time taken by cutover, you can do three things:

• Run the finalize phase explicitly, to obviate the need for cutover to do so.
• Shut down the concurrent managers before running cutover, to avoid having to wait for concurrent requests to complete. Alternatively, ensure no long-running concurrent jobs are submitted while a patching cycle is in progress.
• Ensure you are using the maximum number of parallel workers your system will support.
