Upgrading Validator

Download and install the new version of Validator.

About this task

Note: When you upgrade from an old version, the upgrade installer saves your old config file (/opt/aspera/aspera-validator/config/validator.yaml) to:
  • CentOS: /opt/aspera/aspera-validator/config/validator.yaml.rpmsave
  • Debian: /opt/aspera/aspera-validator/config/validator.yaml.dpkg-old
If you want to keep your old settings, copy the saved settings into the new validator.yaml file.

Procedure

  1. Download the new version of Validator.
  2. Install the new version of Validator:
    • CentOS:
      # rpm -Uvh ibm-aspera-otfv-validator-version.rpm
    • Debian:
      # dpkg -i ibm-aspera-otfv-validator-version.deb
    Note: The installer stops and starts Validator as part of the process.
