Upgrade the Session Delivery Manager Standalone Server

Note:

If you are running any version of OCSDM prior to Release 7.5M3, you cannot install OCSDM Release 8.x. Ensure that you are currently running OCSDM, Release 7.5M3 or later.

Note:

It is recommended that you take a cold DB back up of the system before proceeding with upgrade.

Use the following summary of tasks to upgrade your OCSDM standalone server:

You must unzip the tar file to create the OCSDM installation directory, which contains the installation program used to run the installation. Refer to the Create a Session Delivery Manager Installation Directory section for more information.
If you are upgrading Report Manager, the Oracle Database and Oracle BI Publisher must be running before you upgrade OCSDM so that Report Manager database data is migrated.
Start the installation.

Start the Session Delivery Manager Standalone Upgrade

Note:

The previous release of Oracle Communications Session Delivery Manager must manage at least one device to be upgraded successfully.

Login to your server as the root user.
Navigate to the OCSDM installation bin directory.
For example:
```
cd /<sdm-install-directory>/AcmePacket/NNC<version>/bin
```
Run the setup application with the setup.sh script. The setup application determines that a migration of the application data needs to occur from the current release and that specific plugin(s) need to be installed based on the product devices (SBCs, E-SBCs, or both) OCSDM managed in the previous release.
```
./setup.sh
```
Note:
A warning message appears if you have less than the recommended minimum physical memory. Proceeding without the recommended minimum physical memory may result in performance degradation.
WARNING:
This process may take several minutes to complete. Interrupting the setup.sh process risks corrupting the system.
The data migration tool automatically detects the previous release. When you are prompted, select that you have a standalone system and use the following section to complete your upgrade.

Migrate Application Data on the Standalone Server

Migrate the application data on the master node (member) of the cluster system.

Enter 1 to proceed with database migration.

Setup has detected that database migration needs to be performed.
The migration process involves backing up the existing database and then
performing various operations to migrate the database to the current version.
Depending on size of the existing database and the operations to be performed,
this process may take up to an hour to complete, however you can cancel and
rollback the process at any time by pressing the <a> key followed by <enter>.
Note that database migration MUST be performed before setup can continue.
[X]  1 - Proceed with database migration   [Default]
[ ]  2 - Cancel and exit setup
Please select an option [1] 1

Enter Yes to migrate data from the previous Oracle Communications Session Delivery Manager installation.
```
[X]  1 - Proceed with database migration   [Default]
[ ]  2 - Cancel and exit setup
Do you want to continue Yes/No?  Yes
```
Pressing a key anytime during the process aborts the current migration. You cannot be able to launch the target version of Oracle Communications Session Delivery Manager until setup is re-run and database migration is performed.
When you are prompted, specify the directory path on your server where you downloaded the requested product plugin(s). Once the directory path(s) to the product plugin(s) are provided, the migration process continues migrating application data to SDM 8.x.
Press Enter and continue to the setup, where you can select your OCSDM installation type. You must re-enter the setup parameters that you used when you previously setup OCSDM. Refer to the Typical Installation, Custom Installation, Easy Installation, or Headless Installation chapter for more information.
