Before Upgrading

Maintenance window

A Squirro upgrade requires a downtime. This is typically quite short, but will still affect user experience for a moment. As a result, upgrades to production systems should only be run in a maintenance window.

Storage vs. Cluster Nodes

Squirro distinguishes between storage and cluster nodes. These can be installed on the same server or split up. Both can also be horizontally scaled and have multiple instances. For full details see How Squirro Scales.

Independent of the setup, in the instructions below always execute all the storage node updates first, and only then do the cluster node updates. This applies independent of whether cluster and storage node are on the same system, whether they are split into one server each, or if they have multiple instances each.

Offline Repository

If you have used the offline installation, or have an internal mirror of the Squirro yum repository, please make sure this is updated prior to starting the Squirro update.

Upgrading

Storage nodes

Run these instructions on every single server that has storage nodes installed before moving on to the cluster nodes.
