How to Manually Upgrade Remote Agents and Local Distributors From an Operating System That Is No Longer Supported

If you did not upgrade servers running operating systems that are no longer supported by the N1 Grid Service Provisioning System 5.0 before you automatically upgraded the Remote Agents and Local Distributors, you need to manually upgrade those systems.

Steps

1. On the server that is running the 4.1 Remote Agent or Local Distributor that you want to upgrade, log into the machine as the user who installed the 4.1 version of the Remote Agent or Local Distributor.

2. Change to the directory that contains the application scripts.

   % cd /N1SPS4.1-home/app/bin/

   N1SPS4.1-home is the directory where you installed the application.

   app is agent for the Remote Agent and ld for the Local Distributor.

3. Stop the 4.1 Remote Agent or Local Distributor.

   % ./cr_app stop

   app is agent for the Remote Agent and ld for the Local Distributor.

4. Verify that the 4.1 Remote Agent or Local Distributor is not automatically started upon system reboot by system start up scripts.

5. Upgrade the operating system on the server to a version that the N1 Grid Service Provisioning System 5.0 supports.

6. Move the 4.1 Remote Agent or Local Distributor to a temporary location on the server.

   % mv /N1SPS4.1-home/app /temporary_directory

   N1SPS4.1-home is the directory where you installed the application.

   app is agent for the Remote Agent and ld for the Local Distributor.

   temporary_directory is the temporary directory in which to move the application.

7. Install the 5.0 Remote Agent or Local Distributor in the same directory where the 4.1 application had been installed.

   For instructions, see How to Install the N1 Grid Service Provisioning System 5.0 on Solaris OS, Red Hat Linux, and IBM AIX Systems.

8. Change to the directory that contains the scripts for the 5.0 Remote Agent or Local Distributor.

   % cd /N1SPS5.0-home/app/bin/

   N1SPS5.0-home is the directory where you installed the application.

   app is agent for the Remote Agent and ld for the Local Distributor.

9. Migrate the data to the 5.0 Remote Agent or Local Distributor.

   % ./migrateNode_4.1-5.0.sh -n /N1SPS5.0-home/app -o /temporary_directory/N1SPS4.1-home/app

   N1SPS5.0-home is the directory where you installed the 5.0 application.

   /temporary_directory/N1SPS4.1-home is the directory to which you moved the 4.1 application.

   app is agent for the Remote Agent and ld for the Local Distributor.

   The migration script migrates the following files:

   • config.properties

   • transport.config

   • keystores

   • snapshots on the Remote Agent

10. Start the 5.0 Remote Agent or Local Distributor.

    % ./cr_app start

    app is agent for the Remote Agent and ld for the Local Distributor.
