Example

To upgrade the TrueSight Presentation Server silently in a high-availability deployment

1. Open a CLI command prompt on the TrueSight Presentation Serversecondary server.
2. Navigate to the directory:
   
   • (Windows):TrueSightPServer\truesightpserver\bin
   • (Linux):TrueSightPServer/truesightpserver/bin
3. Run the following command to stop the secondary server:
   tssh server stop secondary
4. On the existing TrueSight Presentation Server primary server, perform steps 1 to 3 to upgrade the primary Presentation Server silently.
   
5. (Applies only if you configured high-availability post installation in an earlier release) Go to the secondary server and perform the following steps:
   1. Edit the TrueSightPServer\TrueSightPServerInstalledConfiguration.xml file.

   2. Locate and change the following property values. If these properties are not present, add them.

      <property>   
      <name>TrueSight_high_availability_enabled</name>   
      <value>1</value>   
      </property>   
        
      <property>   
      <name>TrueSight_high_availability_type</name>   
      <value>2</value>   
      </property>   
        
      <property>   
      <name>TrueSight_high_availability_configuration_file</name>   
      <value>ha-shared.conf_FileLocation<value/>   
      </property> 

      In the preceding properties, ensure that the value is set as follows:

      • TrueSight_high_availability_enabled: Indicates whether high availability is enabled. Value must be set to 1.

      • TrueSight_high_availability_type: Indicates the type of server - primary or secondary. Value must be set to 2.

      • TrueSight_high_availability_configuration_file: Specify the complete location path of the ha-shared.conf file copied from the primary server.
6. On the secondary server, perform steps 1 to 3 to upgrade the secondary Presentation Server silently.
