20.3 Updating a Multiple-Server System from Vibe 3.3 to Vibe 3.4

If your Novell Vibe 3.3 system is distributed across multiple servers, the Vibe 3.4 installation program can update Vibe components on the Vibe server, but you must manually update any Vibe components that you have placed on remote servers. The database does need to be updated because there were no database changes from Vibe 3.3 to Vibe 3.4.

20.3.1 Backing Up Vibe Data

Ensure that your Vibe data is backed up before you begin the update process. For information about the data that needs to be backed up, see Backing Up Vibe Data in the Novell Vibe 3.4 Administration Guide.

20.3.2 Manual Vibe Database Update

Vibe 3.4 does not contain any database changes, so there is no need to update the database when updating from Vibe 3.3.

20.3.3 Remote Lucene Index Server Update

To update your index from Novell Vibe 3.3 to Novell Vibe 3.4 when the Vibe installation program cannot do it for you, you need to run the Remote Lucene Server installation program.

  1. Stop Vibe.

  2. Stop the Lucene Index Server.

  3. Ensure that no application (such as a command prompt or Windows Explorer) is running on the Vibe 3.3 system.

  4. Copy the Vibe 3.4 Remote Lucene Server Installation program from the directory where the Vibe 3.4 Installation program is located to a convenient directory on the server where the remote Lucene Index Server is located.

    The name of the Remote Lucene Server Installation program varies by platform:

    Linux:

    lucene-installer.linux

    Windows:

    lucene-installer.exe

  5. Start the Vibe 3.4 Remote Lucene Server installation program.

  6. Accept the License Agreement, then click Next.

  7. Select Update software and settings.

  8. Click Next to continue.

  9. Click Next to accept the installation location.

  10. Click Next to accept the Java JDK location.

  11. In the Host field, specify the hostname where you are installing the remote Lucene Index Server.

  12. Change Lucene configuration settings as needed, then click Next.

    For information about Lucene configuration settings, see Section 9.6.2, Changing Lucene Configuration Settings.

  13. Click Install to install the updated Lucene Index Server software.

  14. Click Finish when the update is completed.

  15. Start the Lucene Index Server.

  16. Now that all remote Vibe components have been updated, follow the instructions in Section 20.2, Updating a Single-Server System from Vibe 3.3 to Vibe 3.4.
