Updating FlashGrid software using FlashGrid Server Update package – FlashGrid Help Center

FlashGrid Server Update package is a single self-extracting bash script file that allows updating the following components:

FlashGrid Storage Fabric RPM
FlashGrid Diagnostics RPM
FlashGrid Cloud Area Network RPM
FlashGrid Health Checker RPM

Using this package makes it easier to have the update performed to the latest validated set of software components and helps avoid accidental installation of incompatible software versions.

To update software using FlashGrid Server Update package, perform the following steps

Create backup snapshot of the OS disk

a. Flush OS buffers:
```
# sync; sync;
```
b. Create snapshot of the OS disk using the cloud console or CLI.
Stop all running databases.
Stop Oracle High Availability Services:
```
# crsctl stop has
```
Stop the FlashGrid Diagnostics monitoring service:
```
# systemctl stop flashgrid-node-monitor
```
Stop the FlashGrid Storage Fabric services:
```
# flashgrid-node stop
```
Stop the FlashGrid Cloud Area Network service:
```
# systemctl stop flashgrid-clan
```

Run the update script as root.

# bash flashgrid_cluster_node_update-X.Y.Z.NNNNN.sh

Flush the OS buffers and reboot the server:
```
# sync; sync; reboot
```
On the server run flashgrid-health-check command to verify that the status is good and all checks have passed successfully.

After the software update is complete, upload diags to FlashGrid support. This will allow FlashGrid support to have up-to-date records of the software versions used on your systems.
