Hi,

I need to do an in-place upgrade from 3.5.2 to 3.5.3 on my origin servers. Is there a recommended precedure to acheive this? I want to have the minimum downtime possible.

CentOS, x64.

I think something along the lines of :

Backup complete application dir: (cp -R /opt/adobe/fms/ /opt/adobe/fms.backup)

Perform install (./installFMS ...).

Replace conf and applications (cp -R /opt/adobe/fms.backup/conf /opt/adobe/fms/ etc)

restart fms (fmsmgr server fms restart)

Should I stop fms manually before upgrade?

Should I recreate the config files rather than copy them over?

Any best practice recommendations are welcome.

Thanks,

Michael

    Hi Michael,

    The recommended procedure to upgrade your server is documented at http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashMediaServer/3.5_InstallingFMS/WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d119ed5bf6c6-7ff2.html

    Pls follow the steps.

    You will have to back up the old files > uninstall the existing the FMS > install the new FMS > update the files like configuration, license, application, modules, webroot etc.

    But do not replace the old configuration files with the new. You will have to edit the tags which ever is required.

    Your new server should be up once you have followed the procedures. so it all depends how long do you think it will take to update the files with new server.

    The above mentioned doc should help you.

    If you have any more questions pls revert.

    Regards,

    Janaki L
