Upgrading ExaGear for Server on Ubuntu

Before the Upgrade

1. Ensure that ExaGear for Server has been installed on the host system.
2. Copy all ExaGear for Server configuration files to the host system directory for backup.

   1	cp -r /opt/exagear/images/ubuntu-<os_version>-x86_64/.exagear/* /tmp

Performing the Upgrade

1. Run the following commands to upgrade the ExaGear for Server software package:

   1 2	sudo dpkg -i exagear-utils_<package_version>_all.deb exagear-core-x64a64_<package_version>_arm64.deb exagear-core-x32a64_<package_version>_arm64.deb exagear-guest-for-ubuntu-<os_version>-x86_64-<package_version>_all.deb exagear-integration_<package_version>_all.deb sudo apt-get install -f

2. Combine the ExaGear for Server configuration file that is backed up with the default configuration files after the upgrade. For example, to combine the configuration file vpath-list in the shared directory, run the following command:

   1	cat /tmp/vpaths-list /opt/exagear/images/ubuntu-<os_version>-x86_64/.exagear/vpaths-list |sort|uniq > /opt/exagear/images/ubuntu-<os_version>-x86_64/.exagear/vpaths-list

Post-upgrade Check

Run the following command to check the ExaGear for Server version after upgrade:

1

/opt/exagear/bin/ubt_x64a64_al -v

If the values of Revision and <package_version> are the same, the upgrade is complete.
