Upgrade to Paragon Automation Release 24.1 or Release 24.1.1

You can directly upgrade only from the following Paragon Automation releases:

  • Release 23.2 to Release 24.1

  • Release 23.2 to Release 24.1.1

  • Release 24.1 to Release 24.1.1

If your release is earlier than Release 23.2, you must install Release 24.1 or Release 24.1.1 afresh.

Use the instructions provided in this topic to upgrade Release 23.2 to Release 24.1 or Release 24.1.1.

In order to directly upgrade, we recommend that you use the health-check utility to ensure that your current system is stable, and then take a backup of your current configuration using the backup utility. Copy your backed-up data before the upgrade process to an external location outside the cluster as a fail-safe. For more information, see Backup and Restore.

Note:

You cannot custom select applications to be backed up and restored. You can back up and restore only a preconfigured and fixed set of applications and administrations settings for each component, See Backup and Restore for a complete list of applications that can be backed up.

Upgrade from Release 23.2 to Release 24.1 or Release 24.1.1

  1. Log in to the control host. You can use the same host that you used to install Release 23.2.
  2. Create a directory in which you'll download the software. We refer to this directory as pa-download-dir in this guide.
  3. Change to the directory that you created.
  4. Download the Release 24.1 or Release 24.1.1 files to the download directory.
  5. Extract the downloaded package.
  6. Make the run script executable.
  7. Install the Release 24.1 or Release 24.1.1 Paragon Automation cluster.

    config-dir is a user-defined directory on the control host that contains configuration information for a particular installation. It is created as part of the installation process and is expected to already exist.

    Ensure that you include the dot and slash (./) with the run command.

  8. Log in to the worker nodes.

    Use a text editor to configure the following recommended information for Paragon Insights in the limits.conf and sysctl.conf files.

    1. Edit the /etc/security/limits.conf file.

    2. Edit the /etc/sysctl.conf file.

    Repeat this step for all worker nodes.

  9. Open a browser, and enter in the URL field either the hostname of the main Web application or the VIP address of the ingress controller that you configured in of the installation wizard.

    For example, https://vip-of-ingress-controller-or-hostname-of-main-web-application. The Paragon Automation login page appears.

  10. Log in using admin as the username and the previously configured password for Release 23.2.
    The Dashboard page appears. You've successfully upgraded and logged in to the Paragon Automation GUI.
