DPOD software updates are available from time to time and include enhancements, security updates, component upgrade, bug fixes etc.
The following sections describe the process of upgrading an existing installation.
...
Copy the update files to the following directory on the DPOD server :
| Code Block | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
/installs/update/fix/TODO |
...
| Code Block | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
mkdir -p /installs/update/fix/TODO |
Make sure there is enough disk space
The software update requirements for available disk space may change from version to version. See version table below.
The disk space is needed at the "/install" mount point and can be displayed using the following command:
| Code Block | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
df -h /installs
Output example:
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/vg_inst-lv_inst 7.0G 5.5G 1.6G 79% /installs |
During the software update installation, the internal configuration database is being backed-up. The backup requires additional available disk space on the "/installs" mount point.
To calculate the needed available disk space for the internal configuration database backup please use the following command (in this example DB size is 43MB):
| Code Block | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
du -ksh /app/derby/
Output example:
43M /app/derby/ |
See the following table for needed available disk space on "/installs" for the software update:
| Version | Needed Available Disk Space |
|---|---|
| 1.0.3 | 700MB + DB SIZE |
| 1.0.4 | 700MB + DB SIZE |
| 1.0.5 | 2500MB + DB SIZE |
| 1.0.6 | 700MB + DB SIZE |
| 1.0.7 | 3000MB + DB SIZE |
If there is not enough free disk space on the "/installs" mount point the user may free some by deleting files from the following directories :
| Directory | Description |
|---|---|
| /installs/update/fix/TODO | Remove old DPOD update files (.sfs) |
| /installs/update/fix/backups | Remove old DPOD backup directories |
| /installs/APPL-setup | Remove DPOD installation file |
