Upgrade Procedure for FreeBSD

The following steps refer to upgrade for FreeBSD.

To operate the below steps, you need to have superuser privilege (i.e. root), experience with FreeBSD, and you need to have some experience on installing/upgrading our products before.

New for Ahsay v9+: OpenJDK Requirement

AhsayCBS uses OpenJDK 8

For upgrade or installation on FreeBSD, your system administrator must manually install OpenJDK 8.

If you have questions, contact Ahsay Technical Support before proceeding with the upgrade.

Assumption

  • AhsayOBS is installed in /usr/local/obs.
  • AhsayRDR is installed in /usr/local/rdr.

  • You are going to install the AhsayCBS in the path /usr/local/cbs.

    Install into any mount is permitted if it is not nested within an existing Ahsay installation.
  • OpenJDK is located in /usr/local/openjdk8.
  • Substitute our default path with your true installation path.

It is not supported to upgrade into a nested directory of an existing v6 installation path. If the upgrade process is done to the same AhsayOBS/AhsayRPS/AhsayRDR path, the upgrade process would fail.

Example 1, you cannot currently have "/usr/local/ahsay" for your AhsayOBS v6 Backup Server and wish to upgrade to AhsayCBS into the same "/usr/local/ahsay/" directory; this is not supported.

Example 2, you cannot upgrade to subdirectory within AhsayOBS installation ("/usr/local/ahsay/") path where AhsayCBS installed into "/usr/local/ahsay/cbs/".

  1. Follow steps 1 - 4 in the Upgrade Procedure for Linux section.

  2. Install or upgrade your Java to OpenJDK8.

    Consult with your System Administrator for further information.

  3. Remove the AhsayCBS bundled Java with the following commands.

    # rm –rf /usr/local/cbs/java-linux-x64 
# rm –rf /usr/local/cbs/java-linux-x86

    Create a symbolic link from AhsayCBS to the Java home using the following command:

    # ln -s /usr/local/openjdk8 /usr/local/cbs/java
    Assuming the JDK is located in /usr/local/openjdk8.

    From the command line, run the following command:

    # setenv JAVA_HOME /usr/local/openjdk8
  4. Continue following the steps from the Upgrade Procedure for Linux section, resume with step 5 onwards.
