Completing the upgrade

Perform the following procedure to complete the upgrade.

1. In a new web browser window, log on to UCP Advisor, and then verify the status of your UCP systems, license information, and UCP Advisor version 4.6.0 details.
2. (Optional) Provision a new command device or update the existing command devices on the UCP Advisor VM. Enter:

   sudo ./installer -U -m <UCP Advisor VM IP address> -u <Node username> -p <Node password> -uu <UCP Advisor username> -up <UCP Advisor password>

   Note: For more command options, enter ./installer --help.
3. In a web browser, enter the IP address for the UCP Advisor VM, and then log on to the UCP Advisor VM.

   https://<UCP Advisor VM IP address or FQDN>

4. If a vCenter is configured, then verify the UCP Advisor plugin from the vCenter. See "Accessing the UCP Advisor plugin" in the Hitachi Unified Compute Platform (UCP) Advisor Administration Guide.
5. Verify that the status of all the UCP system devices are in Normal state.
   Note: If the device status is in Warning state, then upgrade the device to the latest firmware.
6. (Optional) On each network switch, clear the switch host key configurations:
   • For Ethernet switches, enter:

     clear ssh hosts

   • For Fibre Channel switches, enter:

     sshutil delknownhost
     <IP address of the UCP Advisor VM>

7. (Optional): Verify the SSL certificate that was generated during UCP Advisor upgrade.
   1. Log on to the UCP Advisor VM as a ucpadmin user.
   2. Navigate to the /var/ucpadvisor/ssl/certs/common folder and run the following command:

      openssl x509 -enddate -noout -in server.crt

8. Delete the old firmware bundle and upload the latest firmware bundle. See "Uploading firmware" in the Hitachi Unified Compute Platform (UCP) Advisor Administration Guide.
9. Update the firmware on all the devices. See "Upgrading compute firmware" in the Hitachi Unified Compute Platform (UCP) Advisor Administration Guide.
10. (Optional) Delete the VMware snapshot of the VM after you have successfully upgraded UCP Advisor and performed the post-upgrade verifications from step 1-8.
11. (Optional) Decommission the UCP Advisor 4.5 external Gateway VM.
12. (Optional) Using the UCP Advisor plugin, log on to UCP Advisor and re-accept the UCP Advisor REST API certificate. See "Accessing the UCP Advisor plugin" in the Hitachi Unified Compute Platform (UCP) Administration Guide.
    Note:

    • After upgrading UCP Advisor to version 4.6.0, you can view the preupgrade report, the preupgrade task history, and the post upgrade report from the Settings > Report page.
    • After you upgrade UCP Advisor, a single partner, apiadmin is created by default and ucpAdminRole privileges are granted. Using this privilege, the partner can create multiple subscribers and assign device resources to them. The UCP system devices, such as storage, Ethernet switches, and Fibre Channel switches are always assigned to a partner.

      See "Multitenancy"in the Hitachi Unified Compute Platform (UCP) Advisor Administration Guide.

    • After the upgrade, the devices will take about 10 minutes to resume to their original state.
