Upgrading to VCL 2.4.2
VCL 2.4.2 is the first release to include an upgrade script. All you need to
upgrade VCL is the script. It will download and validate the VCL software and
then upgrade your system. The script can be used to upgrade all three parts of
VCL (database, web portal, and management node) or to upgrade each part
individually.
Running the upgrade script with no arguments will step you through upgrading
all three parts of VCL.
./vcl-upgrade.sh
Alternatively, any combination of the three parts of VCL can be upgraded by
passing arguments to the script. If upgrading the management node part of VCL,
it will also prompt you to agree to the installation of various system level
requirements needed for the code to run. The database upgrade portion does not
have to be run on the actual database server. The following are the arguments
available:
vcl-upgrade.sh [-h|--help] [-d|--database] [-w|--web] [-m|--managementnode]
[--dbhost <hostname>] [--dbadminuser <username>]
[--dbadminpass <password>]
-d|--database - upgrade database components
--dbhost may optionally be specified if not localhost
-w|--web - upgrade web server components
-m|--managementnode - upgrade management node (vcld) components
--dbhost <hostname> - hostname of database server (default=localhost)
--dbname <name> - name of VCL database on database server (default=vcl)
--dbadminuser <username> - admin username for database; must have access
to modify database schema and dump data for backup (default=root)
--dbadminpass <password> - password for dbadminuser (default=[no password])
Manual upgrade instructions are available on our web site if those are needed.
