Perform the Upgrade

To upgrade your HDP version:

Steps

  1. Log in to Ambari.

  2. Browse to Cluster Admin > Stack and Versions.

  3. Click the Versions tab.

    The registered and installed target HDP version displays an Upgrade button.

  4. Click Upgrade on the target version.

    Based on your current HDP version and the target HDP version, Ambari performs a set of prerequisite checks to determine if you can perform a rolling or an express upgrade. A dialog displays the options available.

  5. Select the Express Upgrade method. (Only supported method for upgrading from HDP 2.6 to 3.1.5)

    Advanced options are also available.
