Preparing the Upgrade
This section describes the procedure involved creating a backup configuration, logs and deployment files. To backup the files:
-
Log in to the SMI Cluster Manager Node as an ubuntu user.
-
Create a new directory for deployment.
Example:
test@smismf-cm01:~$ mkdir -p "temp_$(date +'%m%d%Y_T%H%M')" && cd "$_"
-
Move all the working files into the newly created deployment directory.
-
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
-
Verify the downloaded image.
Example:
test@smi1smf01-cm01:~/temp_08072019_T1651$ cat smf.2020.01.0-1.tar.SPA.README
