Execute the upgrade on the ETM server (Non-Cluster)

CAUTION

The ETM instance will be unavailable/restarted during the upgrade process.

ssh to your ETM server as root Make sure the bin is executable:

# chmod +x policyserver-upgrade-<VERSION>.bin

Run the desired policyserver-upgrade-<VERSION>.bin executable You will receive an Upgrade warning, type yes to continue

When the upgrade has completed, the upgrade script will create a new directory, /opt/upgradebackup where the previous instance is stored for rollback. If there is already a previously backed up version(s), the new directory created will be /opt/upgradebackup_<TIMESTAMP>

EXAMPLE: Upgrade from 3.1.3451 to 3.2.3971:

[root@policyserver ~]# ./policyserver-upgrade-3.2.3971.bin Verifying archive integrity... All good.
