NDB Upgrade - How Easy Can It Be!!!

 

** Take a snapshot of the NDB appliance prior to commencing upgrade **

Log on to the NDB console and confirm the health of the NDB databases and the overall environment.

Verify the current NDB version.

From the left-hand navigation menu, select “Settings”.

 Select “Maintenance”.

Select the desired NDB version, then select “Download”.

Once the download is complete, the status will change to “Downloaded”.

You are now ready to begin the upgrade. 

Select the NDB version, then select “Upgrade Now”.

 Select “Yes” when prompted to confirm.

The upgrade will begin, and you can monitor its progress under “Operations”.

Once the upgrade has completed successfully, “Complete” will appear against all child tasks.

Once the NDB appliance upgrade is complete, several additional operations will begin. These operations upgrade NDB components, including the agents on the database servers.

Wait for these operations to complete; this may take several minutes.

Confirm on the NDB Dashboard that there are no alerts. Investigate and remediate any alerts that are present.

Once you have validated the health of the environment, delete the snapshot taken before the upgrade.

This completes the NDB upgrade process—a quick procedure with no disruption to users or the business.

One-Click, ZERO Disruption Operation.
