Obtaining the upgrading command for 11.2.0.0 and earlier

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

If you are upgrading to version 11.2.1.9 or earlier, and used the -u option in step 4 of the Upgrading the container to 11.2.1.9 or earlier procedure, you must unpack the software package manually.

The output of the unpack command provides the command that is needed to upgrade the software.

Procedure

  1. As root, log in to the e1n1 bare metal node.
  2. Copy the v11.2.x.x folder to the Netezza container in /nzscratch:
    docker cp /opt/ibm/appliance/storage/ips/ips1_deployment/v11.2.x.x ipshost1:/nzscratch/
  3. From the bare metal control plane, log in to the container:
    docker exec -it ipshost1 bash
  4. Change the ownership of the /nzscratch/v11.2.x.xdirectory to nz:nz:
    chown -R nz:nz /nzscratch/v11.2.x.x
  5. Log in as the nz user:
    su - nz
  6. Go to the /nzscratch folder, in which the container file is copied, and extract it:
    cd /nzscratch/v11.2.x.x
    ./unpack -f
    Note: If you are upgrading from 11.0.5.0/1 to 11.2.0.0, see the Known issues section of the release notes and apply the workaround.
