Upgrading the Presentation Server in the standalone mode using the wizard


Where you are in the Upgrade process

To upgrade the TrueSight Presentation Server in the wizard-based mode

  1. Failed to execute the [excerpt-include] macro.
  2. Failed to execute the [excerpt-include] macro.
  3. Failed to execute the [excerpt-include] macro.
  4. Navigate to the Disk1 directory of the extracted folder and use one of the following options to run the installer.
    If you plan to use Presentation Server with the TrueSight Capacity Optimization component only, run the following command:

    • (Windows) setup.exe -J MINIMAL=true
    • (Linux - as a non-root user) ./setup.bin -J MINIMAL=true

    The parameter  -J MINIMAL=true  ensures that the Presentation Server installer proceeds with the installation without validating the minimum system requirements, which includes the check for 32 GB of RAM. When Presentation Server is used with TrueSight Capacity Optimization only, the minimum RAM or memory requirement is 8 GB. When you run the upgrade using this option, ensure that you perform the post-installation step for skipping the validation.

    If the Presentation Server component is shared with Truesight Operations Management, ensure that the system requirements are met and do not specify the  -J MINIMAL  parameter in the command. Run one of the following command based on your environment type:

    • (Windows) setup.exe
    • (Linux - as a non-root user) ./setup.bin
  5. Failed to execute the [excerpt-include] macro.

  15. Failed to execute the [excerpt-include] macro.
  16. Failed to execute the [excerpt-include] macro.
  17. Failed to execute the [excerpt-include] macro.

    Your upgrade is now complete.
  18. When you restart the TrueSight Presentation Server, the system requirements are validated. The restart process fails if the requirements are not met. When you use the Presentation Server only with the TrueSight Capacity Optimization component, you can skip this validation by performing the following steps. After you perform these steps, the Presentation Server service is automatically started even if you restart the TrueSight Presentation Server host.

    1. Navigate to the following location:
      • For Windows: <installationDirectory>\truesightpserver\conf\custom
      • For Linux: <installationDirectory>/truesightpserver/conf/custom
    2. Edit the csr.conf file, add the following property, and save the file.
      skipResourceCheck=true
    3. Restart the product service.
    Alternatively, run the following command to forcefully start the Presentation Server service: tssh server start force However, this method does not guarantee the automatic restart of the Presentation Server service after restarting the Presentation Server host.
