Upgrading the Portal Image Via CLI
When using CLI to upgrade the portal, you have to stop all the portal servers before upgrading the image.
Note: Customers without Internet access and upgrading the Portal image from version 6.0.x, require manually installing packages for syslog functionality for offline servers:
ii Copy the archive file, exported_images.tar.gz, to a local folder on the portal machine.
Note: The file is available for download from CTERA support.
iii Run the following CLI command on all servers (including main, Replica, DB, and Preview servers): portal-syslog-client load_images images_archive_path
where images_archive_path is the path to the local folder where you copied the archive file.
iv Run the setup wizard.
If the setup wizard was run prior to loading the new packages, you must rerun the CLI portal-syslog-client load_images images_archive_path and then restart all servers.
If you do not run the CLI command, the syslog functionality will not work and an. However, if you do not run the CLI command, apart from the error message, there is no impact on portals where syslog functionality is not used.
