Set upgrade configuration properties in Cloudera Manager

As part of the upgrade to Cloudera Runtime 7.1.1 or higher, Cloudera Manager backs up and validates your migrated Solr configuration to ensure that it is compatible with Cloudera Runtime 7.1.1 or higher. Ensure that you designate one of your Solr server hosts to perform these actions, and specify HDFS and local directories for the backup and migrated configuration files.

1. In the Cloudera Manager Admin Console, go to Solr service > Configuration.
2. In the Search field, type upgrade to filter the configuration parameters.
3. For the Solr Server for Upgrade property, select one of your Solr Server hosts. When you run the migration script, make sure to run it on this host.
4. For the Upgrade Backup Directory property, specify a directory in HDFS. This directory must exist and be writable by the Solr service superuser (solr by default). Examples in these procedures use /cr7-solr-upgrade/backup for this HDFS directory.
5. For the Upgrade Metadata Directory property, specify a directory on the local filesystem of the host you selected as the Solr Server for Upgrade. When you run the migration script, make sure that you copy the migrated configuration to this directory. This directory must also be writable by the Solr service superuser. Examples in these procedures use /cr7-solr-metadata/migrated-config for this local directory.
6. Enter a Reason for change and then click Save Changes to commit the changes.
