Upgrading the RPM

To upgrade the RPM:

• Use the RPM upgrade option in the AFM Virtual Appliance (refer to Updating the AFM Server).

• Use the RPM upgrade option in the AFM GUI (refer to Updating AFM in the AFM User Guide or online

help).

• Use the following manual upgrade procedure.

If you upgrade the RPM, install the new RPM installation to a new location. The data migration requires

that you manually run it to upgrade the database. The current data migration supports the upgrade from

AFM 2.5.0 or AFM 2.6.0 to release AFM 2.7.0.

1. Stop the watchdog software process, then stop the AFM server.

# ps –ef|grep watchdfm

# kill -9 <dfm_pid>

# /etc/init.d/dfmServer stop

2. Save the existing AFM release.

# mv /opt/dell/dfm /opt/dell/dfm_old

3. Extract the AFM RPM in the /opt/dell/dfm directory.

# rpm -ivhF AFM_ VersionNumber.<label#>.noarch

4. Create the file dfmboot in /etc/sysconfig/dfmboot directory with the following content:

# vi /etc/sysconfig/dfmboot

RUN_FIRSTBOOT=NO DFM_CURBOOTDIR=/opt/dell/dfm_old

DFM_NEXTBOOTDIR=/opt/dell/dfm

5. Create the directory /usr/share/dfmscripts and copy the restartDFM.sh script to the location.

# mkdir –f /usr/share/dfmscripts

# cp /opt/dell/dfm/db/restartDFM.sh /usr/share/dfmscripts/restartDFM.sh

# chmod +x /usr/share/dfmscripts/restartDFM.sh

The RPM installation is now completed and ready to use.

6. To restart the AFM server, link the startup script to the new directory.

# cd /etc/init.d

# rm /etc/init.d/dfmServer

# ln -s /opt/dell/dfm/bin/dfmServer.sh /etc/init.d/dfmServer

7. The restartDFM.sh script migrates the data from the old release to the new release. After the

database is complete, link the startup script and restart the AFM server.

# /usr/share/dfmscripts/restartDFM.sh
