Upgrades

The upgrade feature updates Datamotive services and node OS packages from tar bundles supplied by Datamotive. Upgrades run from the Management Server and cascade to attached replication and prep nodes; they must be performed individually on the management nodes of all sites.

Upgrade via the UI

The upgrade option is available under the user menu on management nodes, opening the wizard at https://<management-node-ip>:5004/upgrade.

1. Review node versions

   The wizard lists the management, replication, and prep nodes with their current versions.

2. Provide the package

   Click Upgrade, then either upload the package from your machine or paste a URL the package can be downloaded from (for example an S3 URL).

3. Confirm and upgrade

   The summary shows the package name, size, description, and the nodes with their types and versions. Tick the confirmation checkbox to enable Upgrade, then run it. Progress is shown per node and per step.

Attached replication and prep nodes that are online are upgraded as part of the same flow; offline nodes are skipped. If a connected management node has a version mismatch, the wizard offers a Click here to upgrade redirect to that node's own upgrade wizard.

Revert from the UI

After management nodes are upgraded, a Revert option is available in the wizard. Confirm the message to roll all nodes attached to the management node back to the previous version.

Upgrade via the CLI

The CLI path is available on management and replication nodes (prep nodes cannot be upgraded via CLI):

# untar the upgrade bundle in /home/dmadmin, then:
./dmupgrade/dmcli upgrade --node-type Management --filepath <absolute file path>

Revert to the previous version:

./dmupgrade/dmcli upgrade --node-type <NodeType> --filepath <last upgrade job file path> --revert

Prep node OS update scheduling

Windows Prep Nodes are normally powered off. To let them receive OS updates, schedule power-on/off windows under Settings → System → Update Schedule: pick the prep nodes, the recurrence (weekly by day with an occurrence interval — for example every second Monday — or monthly by date), power-on and power-off times, and the time zone. Schedules can be reconfigured, enabled, disabled, or removed, and the list shows each node's previous run, next run, and system update status.
