Preparing the Upgrade

This section describes the procedure involved creating a backup configuration, logs and deployment files. To backup the files:

  1. Log in to the SMI Cluster Manager Node as an ubuntu user.

  2. Create a new directory for deployment.

    Example:

    test@smismf-cm01:~$ mkdir -p "temp_$(date +'%m%d%Y_T%H%M')" && cd "$_"
  3. Move all the working files into the newly created deployment directory.

  4. Untar the smf deployment file.

    Example:
    test@smi1smf01-cm01:~/temp_08072019_T1651$ tar -xzvf smf.2020.01.0-1.SPA.tgz
    ./
    ./smf_REL_KEY-CCO_RELEASE.cer
    ./cisco_x509_verify_release.py
    ./smf.2020.01.0-1.tar
    ./smf.2020.01.0-1.tar.signature.SPA
    ./smf.2020.01.0-1.tar.SPA.README
    
  5. Verify the downloaded image.

    Example:

    test@smi1smf01-cm01:~/temp_08072019_T1651$ cat smf.2020.01.0-1.tar.SPA.README
    Important

    Follow the procedure mentioned in the SPA.README file to verify the build before proceeding to the next step.
