This topic provides the procedure to upgrade the Presentation Server from version 10.0 to 10.1, or to apply a Fix Pack on 10.1. You can upgrade the Presentation Server using the upgrade wizard, or you can use the silent upgrade procedure.
On Linux computers, you can upgrade the Presentation Server only as a nonroot user. Though the nonroot user may already have ownership permissions for the destination directory, you must provide ownership permissions for the executables to the nonroot user.
Provide ownership permissions to nonroot users for all installation files by running the following command:
chown -R nonrootuser installationDirectoryFolderName
nonrootuser is the name of the nonroot user.
installationDirectoryFolderName is the name of the folder that contains the installation files.
For example, chown -R nonroot /Linux/Disk1
Provide Xauthority permissions by running the following command:
chown -R nonrootuser /usr/bin/xauth
Apply executable rights to the installation files by running the following command:
chmod -R 755 installationDirectoryFolderName
For example,
chmod -R 755 Disk1
(Windows) Navigate to Windows\Disk1 and double-click setup.exe.
(Linux) As a nonroot user, navigate to Linux/Disk1 and run ./setup.bin.
Note
Ensure that you have set the DISPLAY environment variable.
On the Upgrade Confirmation page, click Yes, and click Next.
The installer automatically verifies the upgrade requirements. If it finds any errors, it displays them in a separate window. You can quit the upgrade process at this point, correct the indicated discrepancies, and then rerun the upgrade.
Important
After you confirm, the Presentation Server is stopped temporarily and is started automatically post-upgrade.
tssh server stop secondary
tssh server stop
tssh ha copysnapshot
tssh server start
Note
If the upgrade is not successful and if you want to restore to the earlier version, see Restoring the earlier version of the Presentation Server if the upgrade fails.
