If you are upgrading from SQLFire 1.0.x, run the sqlf command upgrade-disk-store to upgrade
each disk store to a format that is compatible with vFabric SQLFire 1.1. See sqlf upgrade-disk-store on page
397 for more information.
Note: Update the default disk stores as well as any additional disk stores that were defined through
the CREATE DISKSTORE statement. Specify the full path to each disk store in multiple invocations
of the sqlf upgrade-disk-store command.
SQLFire creates default disk stores in each SQLFire server or locator directory, as well as in the
/datadictionary subdirectory of each SQLFire server or locator directory. The example below
shows how to upgrade these default disk stores on a single member; you must repeat the commands
on each machine that hosts a locator or server.
By default, SQLFire disk store files are owned by the user sqlfire, and you must preserve the ownership
of these files when upgrading the disk store. Use the sudo command to perform the upgrade commands as
the sqlfire user, as in these example commands:
sudo -u sqlfire sqlf upgrade-disk-store SQLF-DEFAULT-DISKSTORE
/var/opt/vmware/sqlfire/server
sudo -u sqlfire sqlf upgrade-disk-store SQLF-DD-DISKSTORE
/var/opt/vmware/sqlfire/server/datadictionary
Replace /var/opt/vmware/sqlfire/server with the actual server or locator directory.
5. Repeat the previous step to upgrade each default and user-defined disk store on the local system.
6. Redeploy your environment's license or configuration files to the new version's installation. Copy and edit
the files as necessary to point to the new installation directory.
7. Restart all system members according to your usual procedures.
What to Do Next
After you have upgraded, perform the following tasks:
• Run the product tutorial and examples. See Tutorials on page 35.
• Test your development systems with the new version.
Version Compatibility Rules
Upgraded SQLFire members cannot participate in a distributed system that contains SQLFire members from an
earlier version. Shut down all existing cluster members before restarting the cluster with upgraded SQLFire
members.
Thin clients from earlier versions of SQLFire can operate against the latest version of SQLFire. However, thin
clients using the latest SQLFire JDBC drivers are not compatible with older versions of SQLFire.
Refer to the Release Notes to learn about changes that were introduced in the latest update.
