Upgrading IBM Data Cataloging service

Steps to upgrade IBM Data Cataloging service.

1. Log in to IBM Fusion HCI user interface.
2. Click Services menu to go to the Services page.
   Note: Alternatively, you can go to the Settings > Upgrades page and view the upgrade status and in progress upgrades. If you can run service upgrades in parallel in a non-disruptive manner, click Upgrade (<number of upgrades available>). If there are any errors found in the automatic prechecks, then click the service tile for more details about the error.
3. In the Installed section, click Upgrade from the ellipsis menu of IBM Data Cataloging.
   Only if an upgrade is available for IBM Data Cataloging, the Upgrade option is displayed.
   The Upgrade pre-check window gets displayed.
4. In the Upgrade pre-check window, monitor the progress of the pre-checks.
   The IBM Fusion HCI runs some common prechecks.

   If all the checks pass or there are some conditions in warning state, you can proceed with the upgrade. However, it is highly recommended to fix the warnings to prevent any potential impacts on the system during the upgrade process. Immediately address any blocker errors encountered during prechecks, as they require fixing before proceeding with the upgrade. After the completion of all pre-checks, a summary of total number of issues found gets displayed. If there are no blocker issues, go to step 6.

5. If there are blocker issues, do the following steps:
   1. To know more about blockers or warnings, click View details link.
   2. The IBM Fusion HCI user interface takes you to the Services page wherein a Upgrade pre-check report window displays all the Blocking issues and Issues (optional). Alternatively, click the service tile in error state in the Settings > Upgrades page to view the Upgrade pre-check report with Blocking issues and Issues (optional) issues.
      You can also view the parallel upgrades from Settings > Upgrades page.
   3. Click on the corresponding BMYxxxxxx code to know more about how to fix the issue.
      If you find error resources in the Resources section of the individual issues, you can click the resource link to know more details about it.
   4. Fix all the blocking issues based on the guidance.
   5. Return to the Services page of the IBM Fusion HCI user interface and click Upgrade.
6. After the pre-checks complete without any blocker issues, click Upgrade now.
7. Wait for a minute or more for the upgrade to complete.
   After the completion of upgrade, a success notification gets displayed.
   Note: The upgrade consumes more time depending on the number of compute nodes in the rack.

   To view the status of the upgrade, go to Settings > Upgrade or the Services page.

   If you see “Service upgrade has failed” message, see View details on the right pane for more details. If you are not able to fix the issue, contact IBM support.
