Upgrading a cluster of Spotfire Servers
Clustering is implemented using Apache Ignite, and clustering is enabled by default. When you upgrade your Spotfire installation from version 7.5 or higher, the clusters will be configured to use Apache Ignite, even if you previously used ActiveSpaces or Hazelcast.
About this task
For information on upgrading, see
Upgrading Spotfire. For general information on clustering, see
Clustered server deployments.
Note: If you have a load balancer that routes based on the jvmRoute part of the session id, note that the default value has changed from uppercase to lowercase. If needed, update the load balancer configuration accordingly.
These are the basic steps for upgrading a clustered implementation of Spotfire:
Procedure
- Download the required software; see Downloading installation software and Downloading hotfixes.
- Install the Spotfire Servers in your cluster; see Installation of Spotfire Server during upgrade.
- Apply the latest hotfix for your new version of Spotfire Server (if one is available) to all of the servers; see Applying hotfixes to the server during upgrade.
- Run the upgrade tool on each server in the cluster; see Run the upgrade tool.
- On one of the servers in the cluster, set your clustering parameters; see Setting up a cluster of Spotfire Servers.
- Start the same server; see Start or stop Spotfire Server.
- Start the other servers in the cluster.
