Cloudera Manager upgrade

[#1]

Hi guys,

I started to read the cloudera documenation how to upgrade Cloudera Manager : http://www.cloudera.com/content/www/en-us/documentation/enterprise/5-3-x/topics/cm_ag_upgrade_cm5.ht...

This is how CM can be installed :

• Installation Path A - Automated Installation by Cloudera Manager
• Installation Path B - Manual Installation Using Cloudera Manager Packages
• Installation Path C - Manual Installation Using Cloudera Manager Tarballs

Right now I have Cloudera Manager 5.3.0 and installed in using Path A.

I want to upgrade it to latest CM, but in the upgrade documentation I have this :

" Choose a procedure based on how you installed Cloudera Manager:

• Upgrade Cloudera Manager Server (Packages)
• Install Cloudera Manager Server and Agent Software (Tarballs) "

The upgrade documentation doesn't include the way I installed the CM (and I think the most popular one).

How did you upgrade your CM if you installed it using the automated way ?

Thanks,

Tudor

Hi Tudor,

"Upgrade Cloudera Manager Server (Packages)" is applicable for both Path A and Path B.

Rationale behind this, is that Path A is a pre-scripted installation wrapper of Path B.

Hope this helps

Hi Michalis,

now it makes perfect sense.

Thanks a lot,
