You have to do the following:

        1. bring down the entire cell (all servers)
        2. load up the new binaries (on all servers)
        3. run vldb_convert (or something like that)
        4. bring up the cell

The above is from memory (6 or 7 months ago).  You may want to swap
steps #1 and #2 depending on how you distribute server binaries.  The
entire process shouldn't take more than 2 hours unless someone hits
the EPO switch (inside IBM joke :)

Later,
