When you add a node manager software update to the appropriate
deployment area, an
Update button is displayed in the information pane
for each affected node.
Procedure
-
Log in to the
Spotfire Server
web administration pages and click
Nodes & Services.
-
On the
Network page, under
Node managers, click the node manager that you
want to update.
In the upper-right pane there is an
Update button.
-
Click
Update, and then, in the confirmation dialog,
click
Update again.
A message indicates that the update has started, and the
Status line indicates that the node is
offline.
Note: If updating a node takes a very long time, you can try to
increase the
nodemanager.worker-threads value in the server
configuration (
configuration.xml or using the
set-config-prop CLI command), if your system
resources allows it. These threads are used for scheduled tasks such as
periodic health checks, scheduled updates, and other types of job handling.
To identify an appropriate value, you can check the metrics for
ScheduledThreadPoolExecutor.Pool.Active in the
performance.monitoring.log files.
Results
When the
Roll back button appears in the upper-right pane,
the update is complete.
If you want to cancel the update and return to the previous node
manager version, see
Rolling back a node
manager update.
