Staging a New SMF Image
This section describes the procedure involved in staging a new SMF image before initiating the upgrade.
To stage the new SMF image:
-
Download and verify the new SMF image.
-
Log in to the SMI Cluster Manager node as an ubuntu user.
-
Copy the images to Uploads directory.
sudo mv <smf_new_image.tar> /data/software/uploads
NoteThe SMI uses the new image present in the Uploads directory to upgrade.
-
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$
-
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
NoteThe SMI must unpack the images into the packages directory successfully to complete the staging.
