Upgrading the Server¶
Before you start¶
Prerequisites
- Administrator access to the Altair SLC Hub server machine.
- Completed the Upgrading Guide.
Upgrade¶
There are two version of the Altair SLC Hub RPM, you must choose between the slchub and slchub-openssl1 RPMs.
Details about this can be found on the initial install page.
Download the Altair SLC Hub RPMs from the World Programming (an Altair Company) Customer Support download site and copy the new RPM to the target machine.
Update the slchub package using the following DNF command:
sudo dnf upgrade -y slchub_<version>-1_x86_64.rpm
Complete! message and a summary of packages that have been updated.
If Altair SLC Hub was installed in a custom location or with a custom [var directory] then during upgrade the custom locations need to be specified again.
Download the Altair SLC Hub RPMs from the World Programming (an Altair Company) Customer Support download site and copy the new RPM to the target machine.
Updating the slchub package is done with the RPM command.
Optionally specify --relocate /opt/altair/slchub=<install location> if the installation root had been changed,
and --relocate /opt/altair/slchub/var=<var location> if the [var directory] location had been changed.
sudo rpm -U slchub_<version>-1_x86_64.rpm
Download the Altair SLC Hub MSI from the World Programming (an Altair Company) Customer Support download site and copy to the target machine. Launch the MSI and replace existing installation. It will preserve any custom installation directory and any custom selection of data directory and replace any files that need replacing.
Make sure the database is running, then use the hubctl command to perform the database migrations and bootstrapping.
Then start the updated Altair SLC Hub services:
hubctl bootstrap
hubctl service start
