Upgrade Ambari Server

  1. Upgrade Ambari Server. On the host running Ambari Server:
    • For RHEL/CentOS/Oracle Linux:

      yum clean all
      yum info ambari-server 

      In the info output, visually validate that there is an available version containing "2.6"

      yum upgrade ambari-server
    • For SLES:

      zypper clean
      zypper info ambari-server 

      In the info output, visually validate that there is an available version containing "2.6"

      zypper up ambari-server

      When performing upgrade on SLES, you will see a message "There is an update candidate for 'ambari-server', but it is from different vendor. Use 'zypper install ambari-server-2.6.1-143.noarch' to install this candidate". You will need to use yast to update the package, as follows:

      1. Display the command line UI for YaST, by entering:
        > yast
      2. Choose Software > Software Management, then click the Enter button.
      3. In the Search Phrase field, enter ambari-server, then click the Enter button.
      4. On the right side you will see the search result ambari-server 2.6. Click Actions, choose Update, then click the Enter button.
      5. Go to Accept, and click enter.
    • For Ubuntu/Debian:

      apt-get clean all
      apt-get update
      apt-cache show ambari-server | grep Version 

      In the info output, visually validate that there is an available version containing "2.6"

      apt-get install ambari-server 
  2. Check for upgrade success by noting progress during the Ambari Server installation process.

    As the process runs, the console displays output similar, although not identical, to the following:

    Setting up Upgrade Process Resolving Dependencies --> Running transaction check

    If the upgrade fails, the console displays output similar to the following:

    Setting up Upgrade Process No Packages marked for Update

    A successful upgrade displays output similar to the following:
