Tech Tip : Steps for CAMM DC upgrade to reduce run time from 1+ hrs to minutes

  • 1.  Tech Tip : Steps for CAMM DC upgrade to reduce run time from 1+ hrs to minutes

    If you have a Data Collector which is polling EMS devices using the EMS Integration your upgrade will likely take a-lot longer than expected (in excess of an hour is typical).  This is due to a limitation within InstallAnywhere where it does a chmod on every file which is backed up. 

     

    Below are the steps to workaround this issue:


    1)     Stop the Data Collector

                   /etc/init.d/dcmd stop


    2)     Move the /opt/IMDataCollector/apache-karaf-2.3.0/MediationCenter folder to somewhere outside of the install location:

                  mv /opt/IMDataCollector/apache-karaf-2.3.0/MediationCenter <backupLocation>


    3)     Perform the upgrade on the Data Collector. 

            
    4)     Stop the Data Collector

                   /etc/init.d/dcmd stop


    5)     Restore the MediationCenter folder from where ever you stored it with the following command:

                   mv <backupLocation>/MediationCenter /opt/IMDataCollector/apache-karaf-2.3.0/


    6)     Start the Data Collector.

                   /etc/init.d/dcmd start


    Assumptions:

    1)     You have installed your DataCollector to /opt/IMDataCollector/

    2)     You have not stopped the upgrade mid backup -- If you have done this support should be contacted immediately as you likely will run into more issues even after following the above procedure.

    Additional info

     

    This also reduces the space needed for the backup created during install.

    Other temporary files could cause similar issues if left around in the DC install directory ( hprof files for example ) and should be removed prior to install.
