For security reasons, the upgrade.properties le is removed when you run the upgrade shell script.
The properties in the le are dened using the information for each IaaS component that comes through
the IaaS Management Agents. It is important that all IaaS Management Agents are upgraded and
healthy prior to running the ./generate_properies or ./upgrade shell scripts. If any IaaS Management
Agent has a problem when you run the upgrade shell script, see “Upgrade Fails to Upgrade the
Management Agent or Certicate Not Installed on a IaaS Node,” on page 44. To recreate the
upgrade.properties le, repeat steps 2 and 3.
5 Run the upgrade script.
a At the command prompt, enter ./upgrade.
b Press Enter.
The script displays each IaaS node and all the components installed on it. The script validates each
component before installing the upgrade. If there are incorrect values in the upgrade.properties le, the
script fails.
If the Upgrade Shell Script is unsuccessful, review the upgrade.log le.
You can run the upgrade script again after you x a problem. Before you run the upgrade script again,
recreate the upgrade.properties le, open it, and enter all the required values.
