Upgrading Tapper

We also use Tapper-Deployment for upgrading.

Checkout the Tapper-Deployment project

Tapper-Deployment is a much improved fork from the Starterkit where all modern deployment and upgrade is developed. We need the whole project locally. Therefore clone it from github

git clone git://github.com/amd/Tapper-Deployment.git

Decide "stable" vs. "development"

The difference between stable and development is just that "development" first does a "stable" and then additionally installs latest versions from github on top of it.

Upgrade to stable version (from CPAN)

Type

cd Tapper-Deployment/installer/
make upgrade

This upgrades the most usual components

• web
• cli
• api
• receiver
• testplan
• schema-upgrade

You might want to additionally install special targets:

• make mcp (central automation layer, if used)
• make action (sub component of automation, if used)
• make mcpmsgreceiver (message receiver -> rarely needs update)
• make clientpkgs (toolchain for test execution)
• make baseimages (OS images for virtualization)
• make nfsroot++ (upgrade NFS root OS for network boot)

Upgrade to development version (from github)

export TAPPERFROMGIT=1
make upgrade

This upgrades the same components as for "stable" but from CPAN and from github. Everything documented for "stable" applies here, too.
