Upgrade to 9.7 is little bit more complicated, because you need to upgrade (if you are using it) PostgreSQL.<\/p>\n

Step-by-step guide<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Put vCloud Director + PostgreSQL DB vm’s into maintenance in monitoring system.
    \n<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. SSH to vCloud VM and shutdown services:
    \n<\/span>
    \n\/etc\/init.d\/vmware-vcd stop
    \n<\/span>
    \n<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Start nginx or apache to show temporary web page (this needs to be configured ahead). It’s just for cases, that users are trying to connect and you don’t want to have a lot of calls\/tickets why the vCloud is not running<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>\/etc\/init.d\/nginx start
    \n<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. Check that the temporary page is visible.
    \n<\/span><\/li>\n
  5. \n
    Do + check a vCloud vm + vCloud DB vm backup<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

    do a PostgreDB backup<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

      \n
    1. check free spacedf -h<\/span>su – postgrespg_dump vcloud > \/var\/lib\/pgsql\/vcloud-backup_20200202.sql
      \n
      \n<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
    2. check that backup is not zerols -la \/var\/lib\/pgsql\/vcloud-backup_20200202.sql
      \n<\/span>
      \n<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
    3. output must look similar to this:-rw-r–r– 1 postgres postgres 4114824617 Feb 2 22:03 \/var\/lib\/pgsql\/vcloud-backup_20200202.sql
      \n<\/span>
      \n<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n
    4. Do snapshots on both\u00a0 VMs “vCloud Director” + “PostgreSQL DB”
      \n<\/span><\/li>\n
    5. \n
      Installation and upgrade PostgreSQL DB to v.10
      \n<\/span><\/div>\n

      yum install postgresql10-server<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

      sudo systemctl stop postgresql-9.6.service && sudo systemctl stop postgresql-10.service<\/p>\n

      systemctl stop postgresql-9.6.service<\/p>\n

      su postgres<\/p>\n

      \/usr\/pgsql-10\/bin\/initdb -E UTF8 –locale=en_US.UTF-8 -D \/var\/lib\/pgsql\/10\/data\/<\/p>\n

      \/usr\/pgsql-10\/bin\/pg_upgrade –old-datadir \/var\/lib\/pgsql\/9.6\/data\/ –new-datadir \/var\/lib\/pgsql\/10\/data\/ –old-bindir \/usr\/pgsql-9.6\/bin\/ –new-bindir \/usr\/pgsql-10\/bin\/
      \n
      \nchange \/var\/lib\/pgsql\/10\/data\/pg_hba.conf same as \/var\/lib\/pgsql\/9.6\/data\/pg_hba.conf<\/span><\/p>\n

      # TYPE DATABASE USER ADDRESS METHOD
      \n# “local” is for Unix domain socket connections only
      \nlocal all all trust
      \n# IPv4 local connections:
      \nhost all all 127.0.0.1\/32 trust
      \n# IPv6 local connections:
      \nhost all all ::1\/128 trust
      \n# Allow replication connections from localhost, by a user with the
      \n# replication privilege.
      \n#local replication all trust
      \n#host replication all 127.0.0.1\/32 trust
      \n#host replication all ::1\/128 trust
      \nhost all all 0.0.0.0\/0 md5
      \n<\/span><\/p>\n

      vi \/var\/lib\/pgsql\/10\/data\/postgresql.conf<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

      listen_addresses = ‘*’
      \n<\/span><\/p>\n


      \nDisable PostgreSQL 9.6 and enable and start PostgreSQL 10
      \n<\/span><\/p>\n

      systemctl disable postgresql-9.6.service
      \nsystemctl enable postgresql-10.service
      \nsystemctl start postgresql-10.service
      \n<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

      su postgres
      \n.\/analyze_new_cluster.sh
      \n.\/delete_old_cluster.sh
      \n<\/span>
      \n<\/span><\/p>\n

      Remove old PostgreSQL service<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

      yum remove postgresql96-server
      \n<\/span><\/li>\n

    6. \n
      Check that vcloud DB user is owner of the DB in the postgress!!
      \n<\/span><\/div>\n

      su postgres
      \npsql
      \n<\/span>#list DB’s
      \n<\/span>\\l<\/span>
      \n<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

        \n
      1. if not change owner of DB “vcloud” to user “vcloud” :ALTER DATABASE vcloud OWNER TO vcloud;
        \n\\l
        \n\\q<\/span>
        \n<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
      2. optional you can do second DB backup on new PostgreSQL version
        \npg_dump vcloud > \/var\/lib\/pgsql\/vcloud-backup_pg10_20190505.sql
        \n<\/span>
        \n<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n
      3. upgrade vCloud to 9.7
        \n<\/span><\/li>\n
      4. Upload new version\/patch to vCloud VM ( .\/vmware-vcloud-director-distribution-9.7.0-14535248.bin )
        \nensure that file is executable +x flag
        \nchmod a+x vmware-vcloud-director-distribution-9.7.0-14535248.bin
        \n<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
      5. Run the installation bin file
        \n.\/vmware-vcloud-director-distribution-9.7.0-14535248.bin
        \n<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
      6. run upgrade script
        \n\/opt\/vmware\/vcloud-director\/bin\/upgrade
        \n<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
      7. Dont start vCloudDriector services after upgrade DB. Manually started Nginx is running!
        \n\/etc\/init.d\/nginx stop
        \n\/etc\/init.d\/vmware-vcd start<\/span>
        \n<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
      8. Reboot vCloud Director VM
        \nshutdown -r -t 1<\/span>
        \n<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
      9. Check vCloud Director: https:\/\/_VCLOUD.DOMAIN\/<\/span><\/a>
        \n<\/span><\/li>\n
      10. Run script for checking edge VM
        \n
        \n<\/span><\/span>\/opt\/vmware\/vcloud-director\/bin\/cell-management-tool edge-ip-allocation-updates –host vcloud.domain.xyz –user administrator –status\/opt\/vmware\/vcloud-director\/bin\/cell-management-tool edge-ip-allocation-updates –host\u00a0vcloud.domain.xyz –user administrator –update-ip-allocations<\/span>
        \n<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
      11. After 1-2 business days delete snapshots + DB backup file.
