To safely upgrade the HDF Management Pack on an HDF-only cluster, you should stop Ambari Server, back up the files and the database, upgrade the Management Pack, and restart Ambari Server.

1. Stop the Ambari Server.

   ambari-server stop

2. Backup the Ambari Server files and database.

   cp -r /var/lib/ambari-server/resources /var/lib/ambari-server/resources.backup

3. Upgrade the HDF Management Pack.

   ambari-server uninstall-mpack --mpack-name=hdf-ambari-mpack --verbose
   ambari-server install-mpack --mpack=<hdf-mpack-url-or-path-location> --verbose

4. Start the Ambari Server.

   ambari-server restart

5. In Ambari UI, navigate to Manage Versions > Admin > Versions and create a new version for upgrade. Use the VDF newest release to install new versions.
