Like neteye update, the neteye upgrade command will run a number of checks to make sure that:
NetEye installation is healthy
The version on NetEye installed is eligible for upgrade, that is, it checks which is the installed version (i.e., 4.xx) and that the last upgrade was finalized, i.e., the
neteye_finalize_installation
script was carried out successfullyNetEye is fully updated and there are no minor (bugfix) updates to be installed
Moreover, it checks are all successful, neteye upgrade will perform also these additional tasks:
Disable fencing (NetEye Clusters only)
Put all nodes into standby except the one on which the command is executed (NetEye Clusters only) so that they are no longer able to host cluster resources
Warning
The neteye upgrade command may take a long time before it completes successfully, so please do not interrupt it until it exits.
If any of these tasks is unsuccessful, a message will explain where the command failed, allowing you to manually fix the corresponding step. For example, if the exit message is similar to the following one, you need to manually install the latest updates.
"Found updates not installed"
"Example: icingacli, version 2.8.2_neteye1.82.1"
Then, if needed, the command will:
Update all the NetEye repositories to the newer version (i.e., 4.yy, which is the next version to which it is possible to upgrade)
Install all the RPMs of the newer version (i.e., 4.yy)
Upgrade the NetEye’s yum groups
If the neteye upgrade command is successful, a message will inform you that it is possible to continue the upgrade procedure, by checking if there are some manual migrations to carry out: if there are, they will be listed in the next section.
