Important:
- Perform the upgrade steps on every
Eucalyptus host machine, as
described in this section.
- We recommend that you also install the new version of the Management Console, although this
is not required. If you don't install the new version, you will not be able
to use new features from the console.
- We recommend that you install the current version of Euca2ools, although this is not
required. If you don't install the new version of Euca2ools, you will not be
able to use new features from the command line.
- Federated Eucalyptus clouds began with 4.2.0; you can upgrade a 4.2.x cloud
to a federated setup. If you have a 4.1.x or earlier cloud, it cannot have
any non-Eucalyptus services accounts created, nor can it be an LDAP
integrated cloud. For more information, see Manage Regions
in the Administration Guide.
Tip: You can preview the install and its dependencies by running the following
commands. Be sure and respond with 'N' so you do not start the install before you
are ready.
To preview the upgrade of Eucalyptus cloud
The following steps are an optional preview of what the upgrade command will do. If you do not
want to do this, continue to Shutdown Services.
