Upgrade air-gapped YugabyteDB Anywhere installation

You can upgrade your air-gapped installation of YugabyteDB Anywhere to a newer version as follows:

  1. Manually obtain and move the binary Replicated license file <filename>.rli to the /home/{username}/ directory.

  2. Manually obtain and move the YugabyteDB Anywhere air-gapped package to the /opt/yugabyte/releases/<new_version_dir> directory.

    For example, if you are upgrading to the latest YugabyteDB Anywhere stable version, you would start by executing the following command to obtain the package:

    wget https://downloads.yugabyte.com/releases/2.18.0.1/yugaware-2.18.0.1-b4-linux-x86_64.airgap

    Then you would create the /opt/yugabyte/releases/yugaware-2.18.0.1-b4/ directory and move (or SCP) the yugaware-2.18.0.1-b4-linux-x86_64.airgap file into that directory.

  3. Log in to the Replicated Admin Console at https://:8800/ and navigate to Settings to load the new license file, as per the following illustration:

    Change the two directories to match the ones you used. For example, enter /opt/yugabyte/releases/yugaware-2.18.0.1-b4/ in the Update Path field and /home/{user}/ in the License File field.

    Replicated detects updates based on the updated path information and applies them in the same way it does for connected YugabyteDB Anywhere installations.
