Upgrading Component Pack Services
Upgrade to an existing or new deployment of Component Pack Services for HCL Connections™.
Before you begin
These instructions to upgrade Component Pack apply only to an in-place upgrade.
Note the following considerations:- Depending on which Component Pack version you are running:
- If you are upgrading from Component Pack 6.0.0.x , first upgrade HCL Connections to 6.5 and then upgrade to Component Pack 6.5. Next upgrade to HCL Connections 65 CR1 and then upgrade to Component Pack 6.5 CR1.
- If you are upgrading from Component Pack 6.5 to 6.5 CR1, first upgrade HCL Connections to 6.5 CR1 and then upgrade Component Pack 6.5 to 6.5 CR1.
- The in-place approach makes use of existing hardware and avoids downtime. In this release, it also necessitates (after you complete the Component Pack upgrade), that you do a stepwise Kubernetes upgrade from v1.11.9 to v1.17.2 (relying on Kubernetes documentation).
Note: A strategy for side-by-side migration of Component Pack is being finalized;
documentation will become available in the near future.
