Upgrading the SwiftStack Controller Software

Upgrading a SwiftStack Controller is as easy as downloading and running the script on your existing controller. If you have a secondary controller this process needs to be repeated on that controller also.

The installer will:

1. Extract its contents into a temporary directory in the current directory.
2. Install or upgrade dependency RPMs.
3. Install or upgrade the main swiftstack-controller RPM.

You execute the installer by running the following command as the root user:

sh SwiftStack-Controller-6.19.0.1-installer.sh

After the upgrade succeeds, you should see output similar to this:
