Upgrading nodes
To upgrade the nodes, you can most of the time just deploy new node manager and client packages to the server. If this should fail for some reason, you can also install the new node managers on the same hosts as the old node managers. Then run the node manager upgrade tool on each new node manager.
For information on how to deploy a new distribution file, see
Adding software packages to a deployment area.
Note: Set the
Startup type to
Manual for your existing node managers to
prevent the old installation from starting automatically and causing a port
conflict with the new installation. For instructions, see
Preventing
Spotfire Servers and node managers from starting automatically.
- Stop all node manager services.
- Install node manager (as described under Node manager installation).
- Run the node manager upgrade tool on all node managers.
