Full HA Debian / Ubuntu Upgrade

The following covers upgrading the HPE Morpheus Software App nodes in Full HA Architecture configurations to v9.1.0.

Important

The following is only for Full HA Architecture configurations, where MySQL, Elasticsearch and RabbitMQ services are external to the App nodes. The following steps assume 3 app nodes, adjust accordingly.

Below v9.0.0 -> v9.1.0 (non-rolling)

Important

From any release below v9.0.0, use this non-rolling procedure. Stop morpheus-ui on all app nodes first; the upgrade requires downtime. Rolling upgrades apply only when every app node is already on v9.0.0 or higher.

Important

It is important to stop the morpheus-ui service on all app nodes prior to upgrade. Failure to do so will result in a flood of log errors due to previous message serialization conflict. The messages will eventually expire and the logs will clear.

Warning

HPE Morpheus Software v9.1.0 contains new node and VM node packages that require 3.5GB of storage. It is safe to run sudo rm -Rf /var/opt/morpheus/package-repos/* after v9.1.0 package installation and before reconfigure to clean old node and vm node packages from the package-repo when room is needed.

  1. Starting with App Node 3, on All App Nodes, stop the morpheus-ui services via morpheus-ctl stop morpheus-ui. If you receive a timeout, run morpheus-ctl graceful-kill morpheus-ui.

    [root@app-server-3 ~]# morpheus-ctl stop morpheus-ui

    [root@app-server-2 ~]# morpheus-ctl stop morpheus-ui

    [root@app-server-1 ~]# morpheus-ctl stop morpheus-ui

  2. Upgrade the deb package on App Node 1, then run a Reconfigure on App Node 1

    [root@app-server-1 ~]# sudo wget https://packageUrl.morpheus-appliance_x.x.x-x_amd64.deb
[root@app-server-1 ~]# sudo dpkg -i morpheus-appliance_x.x.x-1_amd64.deb
[root@app-server-1 ~]# sudo morpheus-ctl stop morpheus-ui
[root@app-server-1 ~]# sudo morpheus-ctl reconfigure
[root@app-server-1 ~]# sudo morpheus-ctl start morpheus-ui

    After the reconfigure has succeeded, refresh your browser and wait for the UI loading screen to complete. Only if the UI does not become available or the loading screen stalls, tail the logs with morpheus-ctl tail morpheus-ui.

  3. Once App Node 1 upgrade has completed and the ui is available, upgrade the deb package on App Node 2, then run a Reconfigure on App Node 2.

    [root@app-server-2 ~]# sudo wget https://packageUrl.morpheus-appliance_x.x.x-x_amd64.deb
[root@app-server-2 ~]# sudo dpkg -i morpheus-appliance_x.x.x-1_amd64.deb
[root@app-server-1 ~]# sudo morpheus-ctl stop morpheus-ui
[root@app-server-1 ~]# sudo morpheus-ctl reconfigure
[root@app-server-1 ~]# sudo morpheus-ctl start morpheus-ui

After the reconfigure has succeeded, refresh your browser and wait for the UI loading screen to complete. Only if the UI does not become available or the loading screen stalls, tail the logs with ``morpheus-ctl tail morpheus-ui``.

  4. Once App Node 2 upgrade has completed and the ui is available, upgrade the deb package on App Node 3, and run a Reconfigure on App Node 3

    [root@app-server-3 ~]# sudo wget https://packageUrl.morpheus-appliance_x.x.x-x_amd64.deb
[root@app-server-3 ~]# sudo dpkg -i morpheus-appliance_x.x.x-1_amd64.deb
[root@app-server-3 ~]# sudo morpheus-ctl reconfigure

  5. The upgrade is complete and the HPE Morpheus Software-ui services should be running on the three allocated nodes.

Important

If reconfigure after a rpm package upgrade stalls or hangs on starting a local service it is possible the morpheus-runsvdir service did not start or a process it was managing was manually shutdown or killed. To resolve, run systemctl stop morpheus-runsvdir then systemctl start morpheus-runsvdir, then run reconfigure again, morpheus-ctl reconfigure.


v9.0.0 or higher -> v9.1.0 (rolling)

Note

Rolling upgrades (no full UI outage) are supported only when every app node is already on v9.0.0 or higher before upgrading to v9.1.0. From any earlier version, use the non-rolling procedure above — that path requires downtime.

Warning

HPE Morpheus Software v9.1.0 contains new node and VM node packages that require 3.5GB of storage. It is safe to run sudo rm -Rf /var/opt/morpheus/package-repos/* after v9.1.0 package installation and before reconfigure to clean old node and vm node packages from the package-repo when room is needed.

  1. Starting with App Node 3, on All App Nodes, stop the morpheus-ui services via morpheus-ctl stop morpheus-ui. If you receive a timeout, run morpheus-ctl graceful-kill morpheus-ui.

  2. Upgrade the deb package on App Node 1, then run a Reconfigure on App Node 1

[root@app-server-1 ~]# sudo morpheus-ctl stop morpheus-ui
[root@app-server-1 ~]# sudo morpheus-ctl reconfigure
[root@app-server-1 ~]# sudo morpheus-ctl start morpheus-ui

    After the reconfigure has succeeded, refresh your browser and wait for the UI loading screen to complete before proceeding to the next node. Only if the UI does not become available or the loading screen stalls, tail the logs with morpheus-ctl tail morpheus-ui.

  3. Once App Node 1 upgrade has completed and the ui is available, upgrade the deb package on App Node 2, then run a Reconfigure on App Node 2.

    [root@app-server-2 ~]# sudo wget https://packageUrl.morpheus-appliance_x.x.x-x_amd64.deb
[root@app-server-2 ~]# sudo dpkg -i morpheus-appliance_x.x.x-1_amd64.deb
[root@app-server-2 ~]# sudo morpheus-ctl stop morpheus-ui
[root@app-server-2 ~]# sudo morpheus-ctl reconfigure
[root@app-server-2 ~]# sudo morpheus-ctl start morpheus-ui

    After the reconfigure has succeeded, refresh your browser and wait for the UI loading screen to complete before proceeding to the next node. Only if the UI does not become available or the loading screen stalls, tail the logs with morpheus-ctl tail morpheus-ui.

  4. Once App Node 2 upgrade has completed and the ui is available, upgrade the deb package on App Node 3, and run a Reconfigure on App Node 3

    [root@app-server-3 ~]# sudo wget https://packageUrl.morpheus-appliance_x.x.x-x_amd64.deb

[root@app-server-3 ~]# sudo morpheus-ctl stop morpheus-ui
[root@app-server-3 ~]# sudo morpheus-ctl reconfigure
[root@app-server-3 ~]# sudo morpheus-ctl start morpheus-ui

  5. The upgrade is complete and the HPE Morpheus Software-ui services should be running on the three allocated nodes.
