Manually upgrading the Performance Monitoring tool
You can upgrade by uninstalling and then reinstalling the new version of the tool.
Prerequisites:
- Before uninstalling, ensure that you stop sensors and the collector. For more information see, Starting and stopping the performance monitoring tool.
- See Uninstalling the Performance Monitoring tool, for information on uninstallation.
- See Manually installing the Performance Monitoring tool, for information on manual installation.
To upgrade the tool the gpfs.gss.pmsensors and
gpfs.gss.pmcollector packages need to be upgraded:
- Uninstall the tool and then reinstall the new version of the tool, or use the operating system's
native package upgrade mechanism. For example, rpm -Uvh
gpfs.gss.pmsensors-version-release.el7.x86_64.rpm.Note: Ensure that the pmsensors and pmcollector are updated using the appropriate rpm packages for the platform.
- Restart the sensors on the protocol nodes.
- Restart the collector on the node that previously ran the collector.Note: If multiple collectors are used, ensure that they all have the same version.
- Verify that the collector and the sensor are running on the node by issuing the
systemctl status pmcollector command or the systemctl status
pmsensors command.Note: If additional sensor packages such as pmswift or gpfs.pm-ganesha are used, these packages should be upgraded as well.
