Version Upgrade
This page covers the basic upgrade process for local GridGain installations.
Upgrading ZIP Installation
To upgrade the ZIP installation of GridGain, replace the GridGain binaries with a new version.
There are several things to keep in mind when performing the upgrade:
-
It is possible to accidentally overwrite your persistent storage or other important data during the upgrade. It is recommended to move this data outside the installation folder if you are planning upgrades:
-
The
workfolder is used to store application data and all data required for the node to work, and all persistent data on the node. -
The
etcfolder is used to store node configuration that is loaded when node is started. -
The
logfolder contains all node logs.
You can configure the location of these folders by setting it in the
etc/vars.envfile or by setting the environment variables with the same names. -
Upgrading Docker Installation
When updating a docker installation, all information in the container with GridGain will be lost. To keep your configuration, logs and other data, mount a volume for any persistent data you need.
Upgrading DEB/RPM Package Installation
You can upgrade the package installation by using the update command.
sudo apt-get upgrade gridgain9-db-9.1.0.debsudo rpm -U gridgain9-db-9.1.0.noarch.rpmOnce the update is completed, you can restart the node.
