  • You need to use the CDP Beta CLI and run the upgrade-database command to upgrade your database.
  • Required role: You must be logged into the Cloudera Operational Database as an ODAdmin.
  • To use Cloudera Operational Database on a GCP environment, you must do it through CDP CLI with --use-hdfs flag.
  • Before you perform the Cloudera Operational Database upgrade: In the Cloudera Manager properties, increase the omid_max_heap_size property for the Omid service to at least 3GB before starting the upgrade from 7.2.9/7.2.10 to 7.2.11:
