Updating the deployment type (IBM Cloud Pak for AIOps on Linux)

Overview

After IBM Cloud Pak® for AIOps is installed, you can change your deployment type from a base deployment to an extended deployment, or from an extended deployment to a base deployment. For more information about the base deployment and extended deployment types, see Incremental adoption.

If you have log or ticket integrations configured that require an extended deployment, you are prevented from changing to a base deployment until these integrations are removed.

If you are changing from a base deployment to an extended deployment, the aiopsctl tool will check that your cluster meets the additional hardware requirements. For more information, see Hardware requirements.

Procedure

1. Set environment variables.

   1. Edit the aiops_var.sh file that you created when you installed IBM Cloud Pak for AIOps, and update the DEPLOY_TYPE environment variable to the required value.

   2. Run the following command from the directory that the script is in, to set the environment variables that are used later.

      . ./aiops_var.sh
      

   Note: If you do not still have aiops_var.sh from when you installed IBM Cloud Pak for AIOps, then follow the instructions for your deployment:

   Online deployment: Create environment variables or Offline deployment: Create environment variables.

2. Run the following command to update your deployment type.

   ssh ${TARGET_USER}@${CONTROL_PLANE_NODE} aiopsctl server up --load-balancer-host="${LOAD_BALANCER_HOST}" --mode "${DEPLOY_TYPE}"
   

   Note: Running aiopsctl server up automatically runs a prerequisite check to verify if your cluster is correctly set up for an IBM Cloud Pak for AIOps installation of your chosen deployment type.
