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:

  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 present 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
    
    Note

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