Upgrade
CloudShark Enterprise 4.0.0 and later is distributed as an OVA virtual machine image. These legacy instructions should only be followed after contacting support@qacafe.com for assistance.
If you already have CloudShark Enterprise installed on a virtual machine, please follow the OVA Migration instructions to upgrade.
CloudShark runs on top of a RHEL-based Linux installation which meets our system requirements. The system can be bare metal hardware, a virtual machine, or on your public or private cloud infrastructure.
Upgrade Instructions
These instructions apply to customers running 3.9.x or newer. Upgrading from CloudShark 3.8 is no longer supported.
Where to download
Updated installers are available by logging into your account on the QA Cafe Customer Lounge.
Copy the CloudShark installer onto your system
After downloading the CloudShark Installer to your computer, use WinSCP or another utility to copy the file over to your CloudShark system. If you are using the command line, you can use the ‘scp’ utility:
scp path/to/cloudshark-installer-v4.0.0.el8.run root@cloudshark-ip:/tmp/
Then connect to your CloudShark server via ssh:
ssh root@cloudshark-ip
You or your IT department will have configured the root password when the system was created.
Run the installer
Switch to the /tmp directory and run the installer:
cd /tmp
chmod u+x /tmp/cloudshark-installer-v4.0.0.el8.run
./cloudshark-installer-v4.0.0.el8.run
The installer will prompt you to confirm you wish to upgrade.
Done
That’s it!
Visit your CloudShark system on port 443 and verify the footer contains the new version you are expecting to be running.
