2 Exit all Ridgeline clients.
3 Stop Ridgeline services and database engines if they are running (see “Stopping the Server on
Linux).
4 Back up your database.
Also, if the database transaction log, basecamp.log, remains in the top-level Ridgeline installation
directory after the Ridgeline server has been shut down, save it. (Typically, basecamp.log is
removed when the server stops.)
5 Save the files basecamp.db and epicenter.db in the /database/data subdirectory under
the Ridgeline installation directory, as well as any database transaction log files (for example,
basecamp.log or epicenter.log) in this directory.
6 Open a command shell, and then go to the directory where you extracted the service pack files:
% cd sp <n> lin <v> /patch <n>
7 Run the script Ridgeline_<v>_SP<n>_Installer.bin, where <v> = the Ridgeline base version, and <n>
= the service pack number. To avoid permission errors, run the script as the same user that
performed the original Ridgeline software installation.
•
To install the service pack in the default installation directory (/opt/ExtremeNetworks/
Ridgeline4.0/), enter the Ridgeline_<v>_SP<n>_Installer.bin command without
a directory name. For example:
% ./Ridgeline_40_SP1_Installer.bin
•
To install the service pack in a non-default directory with a name that includes spaces, specify
the directory name in quotes. For example:
% ./Ridgeline_40_SP1_Installer.bin "Directory With Spaces/
Ridgeline4.0"
This script file runs a script that backs up Ridgeline files to <Ridgeline_install_dir>/
backup.
8 Restart the Ridgeline server and the database engine (see Starting the Server on Linux).
Uninstalling a Service Pack on Linux Systems
Note
Be sure to restore your previously backed-up database (backed up prior to installing the
service pack) after uninstalling the service pack, to completely restore Ridgeline to its
previous state.
To uninstall a service pack on a Linux system:
1 Exit all Ridgeline clients.
2 Stop the Ridgeline services and database engines, if they are running (see Stopping the Server on
Linux).
3 Locate the directory where the service pack is installed (for example: Ridgeline 4.0 Home/
_Ridgeline3_1_SP2_Installation).
