Upgrading UFM Enterprise Appliance Software

The installation process consists of replacing the containers/packages with the new version and upgrading the UFM data.

  1. Copy the tarball file of UFM Enterprise Appliance software to the /tmp folder.

  2. Connect to the UFM Enterprise Appliance via SSH.

  3. Stop the UFM service/cluster before upgrading.

    In SA mode, run: 

    #systemctl stop ufm-enterprise.service
    

    In HA mode, run: 

    # ufm_ha_cluster stop
    
  4. Extract the tarball file and run the installer for the upgrade. Run: 

    # cd /tmp
    # tar xvf ufm-appliance-sw-<version>.tar
    # cd ufm-appliance-sw-<version>
    # ./install.sh
    

    Installer Options:

    -q|--quiet             Upgrade UFM without prompt
    

     In HA mode, this step should be performed on both servers.

  5. After the upgrade, start the UFM service/cluster. 
    In SA mode, run: 

    # systemctl start ufm-enterprise.service
    

    In HA mode, run: 

    # ufm_ha_cluster start
    
  6. Wait one minute for the service to come up.

  7. Ensure the service health. Run: 

    # ufm_enterprise_sanity.sh
