16.5 Upgrading the Vibe Software

Complete the following steps for each server in your Vibe system that is running the Vibe software:

  1. Ensure that you have a current backup of your Vibe 4 system.

  2. Stop Vibe.

    Linux:

    On the Vibe server, specify the following command:

    /etc/init.d/teaming stop

    Windows:

    See Stopping Vibe as an Application.

  3. Ensure that no application (such as a command prompt or Windows Explorer) is running on the Vibe 4 system.

  4. Copy the installer.xml file from the directory where the Vibe 4 Installation program is located to the directory where you have extracted the Vibe 4.0.1 software.

    The installer.xml file provides default values when you run the Vibe 4 Installation program.

  5. Copy the license-key.xml file from the directory where the Vibe 4 Installation program is located to the directory where you have extracted the Vibe 4.0.1 software.

    Alternatively, you can obtain a new license key from the location where you downloaded the Vibe 4.0.1 software, copy it to the directory containing the extracted Vibe 4.0.1 software, and rename it to license-key.xml.

  6. Start the Vibe 4.0.1 installation program.

    If you need assistance with this task, see the detailed installation instructions for the platform where you are upgrading Vibe:

  7. Accept the License Agreement, then click Next.

    Because you provided your Vibe 4 installer.xml file in the directory with the Vibe 4.0.1 installation program, the Update software and settings installation option is selected by default.

  8. Click Next to continue.

  9. Click Yes to let the Installation program know that you have stopped Vibe.

  10. Select the check box to let the installation program know that you have backed up all of your data, then click Next.

  11. Select Basic or Advanced, depending on the type of Vibe installation you are upgrading, then click Next.

    For more information about the differences between basic and advanced installations, see Section 5.1, What Is a Basic Vibe Installation? and Section 10.1, What Is an Advanced Installation?.

  12. Continue through the installation process, retaining or changing configuration information depending on the needs of your Vibe 4.0.1 system.

  13. Click Install when you are ready to perform the upgrade.

  14. Click Finish when the upgrade is complete.

  15. (Conditional) If memcached is running on the Vibe server, reboot the server to ensure that the cache is cleared.

  16. Continue with Section 16.6, Upgrading the Vibe Database from 4.0 to 4.0.1.
