Beforeperforming the steps on this page, see vFabric Hyperic Upgrade Processes for informationabout upgrade options and other steps in the upgrade process.If you want to configure your 5.7 agents for a user-managed keystore, see the informationin the Upgrade Server and Agent with User-Managed Keystores section of vFabric HypericUpgrade Processes.Agent Upgrade MethodsTo upgrade a vFabric Hyperic 4.x Agent to 5.7 you can either: Install just the 5.7 agent bundle, by pushing it from your upgraded vFabric Hyperic 5.7Server to each agent (in vFabric Hyperic only) as described in Push Agent Bundle fromthe vFabric Hyperic Server, or by manually copying the bundle to each agent asdescribed in Upgrade Agent Bundle Manually. If desired, you can first create your ownagent bundle, as described in Create a Custom Agent Upgrade Bundle. Install complete 5.7 agent package, as described in Upgrade Agent Using a Full AgentPackage.Push Agent Bundle from the vFabric Hyperic ServerYou can update one or more vFabric Hyperic Agents by pushing the new bundle to it from thevFabric Hyperic Server, using the vFabric Hyperic user interface. The bundle must reside in theServerHome/hq-engine/hq-server/webapps/ROOT/WEB-INF/hq-agent-bundlesdirectory.The agent upgrade command is available on the Views tab for an vFabric Hyperic Agent (or agroup of agents). For more information see Start, Stop, and Other Agent Operations in vFabricHyperic Configuration.Note: When you update an agent bundle, the configuration settings in the agent'sAgentHome/conf/agent.properties file are not changed. However, the first time you startan agent that you have updated from 4.5 or earlier, passwords specified in the file will beencrypted.92
Agent Name Unchanged by Bundle Upgrade ProcessNote that if you upgrade a pre-4.6 agent by pushing a new bundle from the vFabric HypericServer, the name of the agent is not changed. So, an agent name that contains the vFabricHyperic version number — as is the default naming convention — reflects the originallyinstalled version, rather than the version to which it has been upgraded. For example, ifyou push a 5.7 bundle to an agent whose name is "HQ Agent 4.5", the agent name willremain "HQ Agent 4.5".Upgrade Agent Bundle ManuallyFollow these steps if you wish to manually upgrade the agent bundle in your agent installation,instead of pushing the bundle from the vFabric Hyperic Server.Note: When you update an agent bundle, your previous agent configuration is preserved — theAgentHome/conf/agent.properties file is not overwritten.1. Copy the agent bundle (agent-5.x.y-nnn.tgz or agent-5.x.y-nnn.zip) fromServerHome/hq-engine/hq-server/webapps/ROOT/WEB-INF/hq-agent-bundlestoAgentHome/bundles2. Unpack the agent bundle.3. Edit the rollback.properties file in AgentHome/conf to specify the location of thenew agent bundle and the bundle it will supersede.Property Description ExampleHQ_AGENT_BUNDLEHQ_AGENT_ROLLBACK_BUNDLEName of directory withthe new bundle, withoutfull path specification.Name of directory withthe old bundle (the oneyou are upgradingfrom), without full pathspecification.agent-5.x.y-EE-nnnagent-4.5.0-EE-nnn4. Restart the agent. For instructions, see Start, Stop, and Other Agent Operations invFabric Hyperic Configuration.If the upgrade to the new agent bundle fails, an attempt will be made to start the agent using theold agent bundle.You can determine whether the upgrade was successful and what version you are running bylooking at the log files in AgentHome/logs.93
