Upgrade Using Console Mode

This section describes the grid node upgrade using the console.

Follow these steps:

  1. Log in as a user authorized to install software with write permissions to the target installation directory on the host server.
  2. Stop the existing grid nodes.
  3. Change to the directory on the installation media that contains the installation program for your operating system as follows:
    cd /dvd1/CCA/Gridnode/Linux
    
    cd /dvd1/CCA/Gridnode/Solaris
    

    Note: The examples and prompts used in the remainder of this section are performed on a Linux server. Installation procedures and prompts are similar for UNIX.

  4. Enter one of the following commands (for 32- and 64-bit hosts respectively) to start the installation program:
    ./installgridnode.bin -i console
    ./installgridnode64.bin -i console
    

    The installation program unpacks and extracts the necessary files into a temporary work space.

    The installation program starts and provides basic installation navigation and cancelation instructions, including the following key points:

    Note: If you cancel an installation, files already installed to that point are not removed automatically. Use the uninstaller that is provided to remove these files. The uninstaller is located in the target installation directory that you specify in Step 6.

    After the Introduction, the following prompt appears.

    PRESS <ENTER> TO CONTINUE:
    
  5. Press Enter.

    The License Agreement appears.

  6. Press Enter at the end of each page of the agreement.

    On the last page, you are prompted to accept the terms of the agreement:

    DO YOU ACCEPT THE TERMS OF THIS LICENSE AGREEMENT? (Y/N):
    
  7. Enter y (yes) to accept the terms of the agreement.

    You are prompted for the location to install the Grid Node:

    Where would you like to install?
    	Default Install Folder: /opt/CA/CCAGridNode
    ENTER AN ABSOLUTE PATH, OR PRESS <ENTER> TO ACCEPT THE DEFAULT:
    
  8. Enter the path to the location where the Grid Node is currently installed, or press Enter to use the default.

    Note: You must specify the same location as the original installation to upgrade the Grid Node. If you specify a path different from the existing Grid Node, the installation program creates a new, separate installation instead of upgrading.

    The existing CCA Database Server is detected by the installation program:

    Database Type: SQL Server
    Server Name: bgunn03
    Port Number: 1433
    
    Do you want to continue?
    1 - Yes
    2 - No
    
  9. Enter 1 then press Enter.

    You are prompted for the Database password:

    Database Configuration
    ----------------------
    Database Name: cca
    Database User: cca
    Database User Password:
    
  10. Enter the password for the listed database user, then press Enter.

    Note: The characters you enter are not visually registered as you type.

    Locate the Agents installers folder
    Current Agents Installers Folder: /root/bgunn
    Enter an absolute path, or press <ENTER> to accept the current value
       (DEFAULT: /root/bgunn): 
    

    The installation program checks for adequate installation disk space and displays the Pre-Installation summary of the required and available disk space.

  11. Review the preinstallation summary and press Enter to start the upgrade.

    The installation program displays the progress as it copies the required files to the target server and informs you when it is finished.

    Installation Complete
