The TrueSight Automation Console installer

To upgrade TrueSight Automation Console

  1. Open a terminal and SSH into the host where you have set up the local registry, and run the following command to update the Stack Manager tool. 

    docker run -it --rm --network=host <hostname>:<port>/bmcsoftware/truesight-stack-manager:<version_number>.<build_number>
    Example
    docker run -it --rm --network=host 127.0.0.1:5000/bmcsoftware/truesight-stack-manager:24.3.00.3037

    Here, 127.0.0.1:5000 is the host:port of the local registry that contains the TrueSight Automation Console images.  
    You are prompted to specify a location to install the product.  

  2. Enter a username with root permissions and a password. 
    The Stack Manager tool is updated at the specified location. 
  3. Enter the location where the previous version is installed. 
    The following message is displayed: Stack Manager Launcher is already installed, do you want to overwrite it?y/(n)
  4. Enter y.
    The Stack Manager tool is updated. 
  5. On the host where the Stack Manager tool is installed, run any of the following commands to start upgrading the application.
    This command also upgrades the database schema. 

    <install_directory>/stackmanager install  --deployment tsac+
    <install_directory>/stackmanager install  --deployment=tsac+

    The existing installation and the END USER LICENSE AGREEMENT  is displayed.

  10. (Optional) If you are using custom certificates, ensure that you have backed up the certificate files before the upgrade. After a successful upgrade, do these steps:

      1. Run the following command to replace the new certificates (created during the upgrade) with the custom certificates copied earlier. 

        cp /opt/<backup_directory>/tsvmSslCertificate.crt <install_dir>/application/common/certs/
        cp /opt/<backup_directory>/tsvmSslCertificate.key <install_dir>/application/common/certs/
      2. Restart the application.

        <install_directory>/stackmanager restart  --deployment=application

Where to go next?

After a successful upgrade, the previously installed connectors do not need any update. If you want to configure any of the new/optional connectors, see Managing-connectors
