Upgrading the container to 11.1.X.X

Deployment options: Netezza Performance Server for Cloud Pak for Data System

Learn how to upgrade the Netezza Performance Server container to 11.1.X.X.

Ensure that the database is not running.
```
nzstate
```
- If the database is Stopped, you can see the following output.
```
[nz@xxx-npshost ~]$ nzstate
System state is 'Stopped'.
```
- If the database is not Stopped, go to the ipshost1 container and stop the system.
```
nzstop
```
If gpfstoken is present on the system, remove the token file.
```
docker exec ipshost1 rm /nz/.gpfstoken
```

Change directories to the folder in which the container is placed.

[root@e1n1 11.x.x.x]# cd /opt/ibm/appliance/storage/ips/ips1_deployment/11.x.x.x

Unpack container.tar.gz.

[root@e1n1 11.x.x.x]# tar -zxvf container.tar.gz
./
./ipshost-image.tgz
./ips-deploy.sh
./ips_check
./nzconfigure.conf
./IBM_Netezza_Software_Support_Tools-11.0.4.1-20200216.tgz
./npsos.11.0.4.1.tar.gz
./unpack

Establish whether your system is Lenovo or Dell.
```
/opt/ibm/appliance/platform/xcat/scripts/xcat/display_nodes.py --vendor
```
- If you have a Dell system, verify that you can access hwinventory for each of the Dell SPUs.
```
/opt/dell/srvadmin/sbin/racadm -u root -p calvin -r e5n1bmc hwinventory nic
```
  - If ERROR: Unable to login to RAC using the specified address. does not appear, you can replace e5n1bmc with Dell SPU nodes.
  - If ERROR: Unable to login to RAC using the specified address. appears:
    1. Run the command for that SPU node and wait for 5 - 10 minutes.
```
ipmitool -H e5n1bmc -U root -P calvin -I lanplus mc reset cold
```
    2. Replace e5n1bmc with each Dell SPU node.
    3. Verify that you can access hwinventory again.
```
/opt/dell/srvadmin/sbin/racadm -u root -p calvin -r e5n1bmc hwinventory nic
```
Run the ips-deploy.sh script to upgrade the container again.
- For Lenovo, run:
```
./ips-deploy.sh -o /opt/ibm/appliance/platform/onecli -d /opt/ibm/appliance/storage/ips -i 1 -u
```
- For Dell, run:
```
./ips-deploy.sh -r /opt/dell/ -d /opt/ibm/appliance/storage/ips -i 1 -u
```
Where:

-o

The folder that contains the onecli command.

-r

The folder that contains the racadm's srvadmin directory.

-d

The Netezza Performance Server base folder.

-i

The Netezza Performance Server instance number.

-u

Used to reupgrade the container without reinitializing.

If you are upgrading the container from version 11.0.6.1 (or older) to version 11.0.7.0 (or later in the 11.0.X.X stream), prune the logs:

docker exec ipshost1 cp /nz/kit/sys/init/nztmpwatch.in /etc/cron.daily/nztmpwatch
docker exec ipshost1 sed -i -e 's,@@PREFIX@@,/nz,' /etc/cron.daily/nztmpwatch
docker exec ipshost1 sed -i -e 's,@@DATADIR@@,/nz/data.1.0,' /etc/cron.daily/nztmpwatch

docker exec ipshost1 bash -c "[ -d /nz/kit.bak/log ] && tmpwatch --nodirs --mtime 360 /nz/kit.bak/log"
docker exec ipshost1 bash -c "[ -d /nz/kit.bak/log/ldrDataRdr ] && tmpwatch --nodirs --mtime 120 /nz/kit.bak/log/ldrDataRdr"
docker exec ipshost1 bash -c "[ -d /nz/kit.bak/log/unlDataWrtr ] && tmpwatch --nodirs --mtime 120 /nz/kit.bak/log/unlDataWrtr"
