Staging a New SMF Image

This section describes the procedure for staging a new SMF image before initiating the upgrade.

To stage the new SMF image:

  1. Download and verify the new SMF image.

  2. Log in to the SMI Cluster Manager node as an ubuntu user.

  3. Copy the images to Uploads directory.

    sudo mv smf_new_image.tar /data/software/uploads 
    Note

    The SMI uses the new image available in the Uploads directory to upgrade.

  4. Verify whether the image is picked up by the SMI for processing from the Uploads directory.

    sleep 30; ls /data/software/uploads 

    Example:

    ubuntu@posmf-cm01:~/temp_08072019_T1651$ sleep 30; ls /data/software/uploads
    ubuntu@posmf-cm01:~/temp_08072019_T1651$
    
  5. Verify whether the images were successfully picked up and processed.

    Example:

    auser@unknown:$ sudo du -sh /data/software/packages/*
    1.6G	/data/software/packages/cee.2019.07
    5.3G	/data/software/packages/smf.2019.08-04
    16K	/data/software/packages/sample
    

    The SMI must extract the images into the packages directory to complete the staging.
