Upgrading a Cell Environment

Note: This procedure has changed since 1.0.12.0. In previous versions the process of upgrading a cell environment was different.

To upgrade a cellenvironment:

1. Make sure the entire cell is up and running. Upgrading is possible only if the cell is healthy.

2. Upgrade the cell manager.

3. When the cell manager upgrade is complete, the cell manager Web Console will be unavailable. Do not start the services manually on the cell manager unless requested explicitly.

4. Upgrade all cell members (can be done in parallel).

5. When the cell members upgrade is complete, start the cell manager services using app-util.sh ("Start All").

Copy the Software Update Files to DPOD Server

1. DPOD software updates are available through IBM Fix Central. The download consists of two files:

   1. The update file: DPOD-fixpack-<version number>.sfs

   2. The md5 hash calculation of the update file: DPOD-fixpack-<version number>.md5

2. Copy the update files to the following directory on DPOD server: /installs/update/fix/TODO

3. If the directory does not exist, execute the following command to create it:

   Code Block
   language bash
   mkdir -p /installs/update/fix/TODO

Make Sure there is Enough Free Disk Space

Inspect the free space of each mount point. You may use the following command:

df -h

Inspect the size of the internal configuration database. You may use the following command:

du -sh /app/derby/

...

Make sure the "/installs" mount point has enough available space using the following table:

...

Upgrading to

...

Available Space on "/installs"

...

1.0.3.X - 1.0.9.X

...

The following table lists the required available space:

If there is not enough available enough free space on the "/installs" mount point, you may free some from the following directories:

...

Execute the following commands as root (using sudo is not supported):

cd /installs/update/fix/TODO
MonTierUpdateInstaller.sh -u DPOD-fixpack-<version number>.sfs -s DPOD-fixpack-<version number>.md5

For example:
MonTierUpdateInstaller.sh -u DPOD-fixpack-1_0_14_0.sfs -s DPOD-fixpack-1_0_14_0.md5

Please review the upgrade log file if the console displays any error messages. NoteDo not interrupt the software update process after it has started.
