You must have previously performed the steps in Preparing for upgrade.

To upgrade a Multi-Manager configuration

1. Perform the following steps on each Satellite Manager in your environment:
   1. Navigate to the directory in which you downloaded the new version .zip file and extract the files.
   2. Use the ps utility to confirm that the following dependent services are running and visible in the process table:
      
      • postgresql
      • dmanager
      • mtd
      • httpd
   3. Run the following commands:
      

      export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/app/clarity/lib
service mtd stop
service dmanager stop
rm /app/clarity/lib/libgcc_s.so.1

   4. Using the remote shell connection to the Satellite Manager, navigate to the directory in which you extracted the new version files and run the upgrade script:
      ./update.sh
      All Satellite Managers must be updated before updating the Content Manager.
2. Perform the following steps on the Content Manager in your environment:

      • httpd
   3. Run the following commands:
      

      export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/app/clarity/lib
service mtd stop
service dmanager stop
rm /app/clarity/lib/libgcc_s.so.1

   4. Using the remote shell connection to the Content Manager, navigate to the directory in which you extracted the new version files and run the upgrade script:
      ./update.sh
3. Complete the following steps. You will be prompted with instructions for entering password information.
   1. Run /app/clarity/manager_scripts/bin/deconfigure_megamesh on each of the satellites.
   2. Run /app/clarity/manager_scripts/bin/deconfigure_megamesh on the Content manager.
