Upgrade CloudBoot Packages

  • Create a backup of the /tftpboot directory in case the storage packages rollback is needed.
  • Power off Windows virtual servers before proceeding to the following procedures.

To upgrade the OnApp Storage packages, follow the next procedure.

  1. Upgrade the repo (run on Control Panel box):

    1
    
    # yum -y update http://rpm.repo.onapp.com/repo/onapp-repo-6.2.noarch.rpm
    
  2. Update the following packages (run on Control Panel box):

    1
    
    # yum update onapp-ramdisk-centos7-kvm
    
    After the packages installation, go to the Control Panel’s Settings menu > Configuration and click the Save Configuration button.
  3. Run the script:

    1
    
    # /onapp/onapp-store-install/onapp-store-install.sh
    
    Be aware that the disk-less nodes password is the root password for the CloudBoot compute resources. By default it is blank.

    When run in the interactive mode, enter the required information.

To upgrade CloudBoot backup servers, refer to the Upgrade Guide. The “Simple Reboot” and “Migrate and Reboot” options are available.
