    # yum update onapp-cp-install

  2. Run the Control Panel installer:

    # /onapp/onapp-cp-install/onapp-cp-install.sh --quick-update
  3. Start OnApp related services (like onapp, onapp-licensing, httpd) if ‘—quick-update’ option was used for the installer.

Upgrade Static Compute Resources

Make sure your compute resource is visible and online on the Control Panel. Then you can proceed to the following procedure and run the steps, depending on a version from which you upgrade. 

  • If you upgrade from OnApp = 6.0.0-293, skip the upgrade of static compute resource.
  • If you upgrade from OnApp = 6.0.0-290, do the following: 

  1. Update Hypervisor Tools (KVM only):

    # yum update onapp-hv-install onapp-hv-tools-kvm
  • If you upgrade from OnApp = 6.0.0-283, do the following: 

  1. Update Hypervisor Tools (CentOS7 KVM only):

    # yum update onapp-hv-tools-kvm

  • If you upgrade from OnApp = 6.0.0-275, do the following:

  1. Upgrade the OnApp compute resource installer package:

    # yum update onapp-hv-install

  2. Update Hypervisor Tools (CentOS7 KVM only):

    # yum update onapp-hv-tools-kvm
  • If you upgrade from OnApp = 6.0.0-238, run the following steps (1-2).

  1. Upgrade the OnApp compute resource installer package:

    # yum update onapp-hv-install

  2. Update Hypervisor Tools (CentOS7 KVM only):

    # yum update onapp-hv-tools-kvm

  3. Initiate recovery images/iso download by running installer with -t option with the following comand:

    For KVM compute resources

    # /onapp/onapp-hv-install/onapp-hv-kvm-install.sh -t

    For Xen compute resouces:

    # /onapp/onapp-hv-install/onapp-hv-xen-install.sh -t
  • If you upgrade from OnApp =< 6.0.0-62, run the following steps (1-3). 

  1. If you have CentOS 7 Xen resources, remove the centos-release-xen-46 package: 

    # rpm -e centos-release-xen-46

  2. Upgrade the OnApp compute resource installer package:

    # yum update onapp-hv-install

  3. Run Static compute resource installer:

    • For KVM compute resources

      # /onapp/onapp-hv-install/onapp-hv-kvm-install.sh

    • For Xen compute resources

      # /onapp/onapp-hv-install/onapp-hv-xen-install.sh
