To upgrade a current installation of QoreStor, follow the steps below:
- Download the new QoreStor executable. Refer to Downloading the QoreStor Software for detailed information.
- Using the appropriate utility (pscp on Windows / scp on Mac or Linux) copy the QoreStor installation files to the server.
NOTE: You may use the Upgrade page of the QoreStorto UI to upload binaries to the QoreStor server.
- Set execution permission on the installation files using chmod. For example,
$ chmod a+x qs_inst_7.0.1.238.bin
- With elevated privileges (either as root or with the sudo command), run the installation script according below
$ sudo ./qs_inst_7.0.1.238.bin
and follow the prompts to complete the upgrade.
- After the upgrade script completes, some QoreStor processes will continue behind the scenes. The system will not be operational until these processes complete. Run the command watch /opt/QoreStor/bin/system —show to monitor the progress of QoreStor services.
NOTE: In some instances, some DMAs may experience timeout errors when trying to access QoreStor containers after an upgrade. If this occurs, wait until QoreStor is fully online, then restart the DMA.
