The runInstaller.sh script included on the
Oracle VM Manager installation ISO includes an option that allows you to
perform an upgrade of a previous version of Oracle VM Manager.
# ./runInstaller.sh
Oracle VM Manager Release 3.3.xInstaller Oracle VM Manager Installer log file: /tmp/ovm-manager-3-install-yyyy-mm-dd-xxxxxx.log Please select an installation type: 1: Install 2: Upgrade 3: Uninstall 4: Help Select Number (1-4): 2 Verifying upgrading prerequisites ... Starting Upgrade ... Reading database parameters from config ...
It is also possible to trigger the upgrade process by passing
the correct installtype parameter on the
command line:
# ./runInstaller.sh --installtype Upgrade
If you do not have both the zip and unzip packages installed on the system that you are upgrading, the installer exits with an error notifying you to install these packages before proceeding with the upgrade.
You are prompted to provide the passwords for each component during the upgrade procedure. You must enter the password you set for that component during the original installation, or the current password if it has been changed since installation.
A log of the upgrade is available in the
/tmp/ovm-manager-3-install-
file.
date_id.log
When you have completed an upgrade of Oracle VM Manager it is recommended that you ensure that the latest packages required for the VNC and Serial Consoles are also installed. The instructions for installing these packages are provided in Section 6.5, “Installing and Upgrading Packages Required For The VNC and Serial Console”.
To upgrade Oracle VM Manager:
Log in to the Oracle VM Manager host computer as the root user.
Oracle VM Manager must be running to perform the upgrade. If Oracle VM Manager is not running, start it. On Linux:
# service ovmm start
If Oracle VM Manager is not running when you run the installation script, an error is returned by the script and the installer exits.
Mount the Oracle VM Manager ISO file or burn a DVD-ROM disc and mount that. See either Section 1.3, “Installation From DVD-ROM or CD-ROM” or Section 1.4, “Loopback ISO Mounts” for more information.
Start the Oracle VM Manager installation script, for example:
# cd /OVMCD # ./runInstaller.sh
The installer starts and presents you with a variety of options:
Oracle VM Manager Release 3.3.
xInstaller Oracle VM Manager Installer log file: /tmp/ovm-manager-3-install-yyyy-mm-dd-xxxxxx.log Please select an installation type: 1: Install 2: Upgrade 3: Uninstall 4: Help Select Number (1-4): 2 Verifying upgrading prerequisites ... Starting Upgrade ... Reading database parameters from config ...Enter the menu number for the
Upgradeoption and press Enter to continue with the upgrade. You are prompted for the password that must be used to access the current Oracle VM Manager database:Typically the current Oracle VM Manager database password will be the same as the Oracle VM Manager application password. Although you need to enter a *new* password for Oracle WebLogic Server 12c, it may be the same password that you used for the previous Oracle VM Manager installation. Database Repository ========================== Please enter current Oracle VM Manager database password for user ovs:
Enter the password that should be used to access the database. If you set a system-wide password during the original installation and have not changed the database password at any stage, this password should be used here. This password continues to be used for the database after the upgrade is complete. If you enter this password incorrectly and the installer is unable to access the database, the installer exits with an error message.
The installer prompts you for the current Oracle VM Manager password. This is the same password that you use to log into the Oracle VM Manager Web Interface, using the admin username.
Oracle VM Manager application ============================= Please enter current Oracle VM Manager application password for user admin:
Enter the password. If you set a system-wide password during the original installation and have not changed the admin user password at any stage, this password should be used here. This password continues to function after the upgrade. If you intend to change it, you must do so after the upgrade is complete.
The installer prompts you to set the new Oracle WebLogic Server password. The installer does not need to know the original password for this operation. You can choose to either reuse the original password, or set a new password here. Keep in mind that if you set a new password, you should make note of the new password and ensure that anybody who may need to know this password is informed via your own site processes. Since this step essentially sets a new password, the installer also prompts you to confirm your password entry to ensure that you have not mistyped it.
Oracle WebLogic Server 12c ========================== Please enter a "new" Oracle WebLogic Server 12c user password for user weblogic: Please enter a "new" Oracle WebLogic Server 12c user password for user weblogic (confirm):
You are prompted for the system's FQDN (fully qualified domain name) or IP address to use during the generation of the SSL certificate that should be used for HTTPS connections to Oracle VM Manager:
Please enter your fully qualified domain name, e.g. ovs123.us.oracle.com, (or IP address) of your management server for SSL certification generation
192.168.0.254[192.168.0.254]:manager.example.comIt is important that you specify the hostname, fully qualified domain name or the IP address that is to be used when accessing the Oracle VM Manager Web Interface, so that the SSL certificate hostname matches the hostname portion of the URL entered into the web browser.
The installer displays the current release number and the release number to which Oracle VM Manager is to be upgraded, and presents a final option to exit from the upgrade process:

Successfully backed up database as 3.x.y_preUpgradeBackup-yyyymmdd_xxxxxxThe upgrade process automatically ensures that the database for the current installation is fully backed up prior to starting the upgrade. This ensures that you are able to roll back to the version that you currently have installed if something fails during the upgrade process. This backup file is located in
/u01/app/oracle/mysql/dbbackup/.Before the actual upgrade takes place, a pre-upgrade script runs to remove any existing job history. This process can take quite some time, depending on the number of jobs in the job history. The pre-upgrade process provides output that indicates the number of jobs that must be deleted at different stages of its progress so that you can monitor its status:
