Qumulo Core Upgrades via CLI

IN THIS ARTICLE

• Outlines how to upgrade Qumulo Core version via the CLI

REQUIREMENTS

• Cluster running Qumulo Core 

IMPORTANT: Clusters running 2.1.1 and above can upgrade using the UI. Reference the article Qumulo Core Upgrades via UI for additional details. 

PROCESS

• Connect to a node via ssh using your IP

ssh admin@your_IP_address

• Check QSFS version by running the following command

qq version

• Transfer the qumulo_core_x.x.x.qimg file to a directory on the cluster via NFS or SMB.
• Confirm that the upgrade status is “IDLE” by becoming root (sudo -s)
  and running the following:

qq upgrade_status

• The output should look like this:

"details": "",
"install_path": "",
"state": "UPGRADE_IDLE"

• Prepare the upgrade by running the following command using the path to the .qimg file you transferred.

root@qumulo-1:~# qq upgrade_config_set --path /qumulo_core_x.x.x.qimg --target prepare

• Then issue the following command to monitor the ‘prepare’ status.

qq upgrade_status --monitor

• This call will block and will return once the state has reached

UPGRADE_PREPARED

• The final step is to arm the upgrade (replacing the path to the .qimg file) which will trigger a cluster reboot. 
  • Only proceed with this step if the upgrade_status call from step 4 returned UPGRADE_PREPARED.

qq upgrade_config_set --path /qumulo_core_x.x.x.qimg --target arm

• After the cluster reboots, check that the upgrade was successful by running the following command:

qq version
