Perform a Omnissa Access Online Upgrade to a Specific Version

You can perform an online upgrade of the Omnissa Access service to a specific version instead of the latest available version, if required.

Note: To upgrade to the latest available version, see Perform an Online Upgrade to Omnissa Access 23.09.

Prerequisites

• Ensure that you meet the prerequisites listed in appropriate version of the upgrade guide. You can access the upgrade guides from the Omnissa Access documentation center.
• Verify that the virtual appliance is powered on and functioning.

Procedure

1. Log in to the Omnissa Access virtual appliance as the root user.

2. Run the following updatemgr.hzn command.

   /usr/local/horizon/update/updatemgr.hzn updateinstaller
   

3. Run the following command to update the appliance to a specific version.

   /usr/local/horizon/update/configureupdate.hzn provider --url https://vapp-updates.<Vendor>.com/vai-catalog/valm/vmw/5C08B358-F782-11E1-8F08-78776188709B/newVersion
   

   where newVersion is the version to which you want to upgrade.

   • To upgrade to version 21.08.0.1 use:

     /usr/local/horizon/update/configureupdate.hzn provider --url https://vapp-updates.<Vendor>.com/vai-catalog/valm/vmw/5C08B358-F782-11E1-8F08-78776188709B/21.08.0.1 
     

   Messages that occur during the upgrade are saved to the update.log file at /opt/<Vendor>/var/log/update.log.

4. Restart the virtual appliance. Enter reboot.

5. Check the version of the upgraded appliance. Enter vamicli version --appliance.

6. After you upgrade all the nodes in your Omnissa Access deployment, use the diagnostics dashboard to monitor system information health.

   1. Log in to the Omnissa Access console.

   2. Select Monitor > Resiliency to open the diagnostics dashboard.

   3. If your deployment consists of more than one Omnissa Access appliance, select the appliance you want to monitor.

   4. Check the status of the various services.

   For example, to check the health of the OpenSearch service, review the Integrated Components section and confirm that the values for the OpenSearch items are as expected. Therefore, the value for OpenSearch - Health is Green, the information about the cluster nodes is accurate, and so on.

The upgrade is complete.
