prompt$ ./tcruntime-ctl.sh myserver stop
See the specific vFabric component documentation for details about stopping a component or an instance of a component.
Procedure
1. On the RHEL VM on which you are going to upgrade the vFabric component, start a terminal either as the root user or as
an unprivileged user using sudo.
2. Execute the appropriate yum upgrade component command to upgrade the vFabric component, where component is
name of the RPM package for the component.
For the exact name of each RPM, see Important Information About Installing Using RPMs, or use the output of yum
search vfabric.
For example, to upgrade vFabric tc Server:
prompt# yum upgrade vfabric-tc-server-standard
Warning: The yum upgrade command shown in the preceding examples upgrades the vFabric component to the most
recent RPM it finds in all repositories the yum command knows about. If you want to upgrade to a version that is not
the most recent, then you must explicitly specify the version on the yum upgrade command line. Use yum search
vfabric-component --showduplicates to find all versions of a component in all repositories. For example, to
explicitly upgrade to version 2.6.2 of tc Server:
prompt# yum search vfabric-tc-server-standard --showduplicates
===================== Matched: vfabric-tc-server-standard ======================
vfabric-tc-server-standard-2.6.0-RELEASE.noarch : VMWare vFabric tc Server Standard
vfabric-tc-server-standard-2.6.1-RELEASE.noarch : VMWare vFabric tc Server Standard
vfabric-tc-server-standard-2.6.2-RELEASE.noarch : VMWare vFabric tc Server Standard
prompt# yum upgrade vfabric-tc-server-standard-2.6.2-RELEASE
3. Enter y at the prompt to begin the actual upgrade. Depending on the component, you may be asked additional questions;
answer as appropriate. If you need more detailed information, see the component documentation.
If the upgrade is successful, you will see a Complete! message at the end.
What to do next
The next steps depend on the specific component you upgraded.
• If you upgraded tc Server, then you will likely want to upgrade specific tc Runtime instances. To upgrade the myserver
instance to tc Runtime 7.0.22.A.RELEASE, su to the tc-server user and run the following commands:
prompt$ cd /opt/vmware/vfabric-tc-server-standard
prompt$ ./tcruntime-instance.sh upgrade -v 7.0.22.A.RELEASE myserver
prompt$ ./tcruntime-ctl.sh myserver start
See the specific component documentation for additional details about the next steps after upgrading the component.
