  1. Navigate to Blueprints and click Create blueprint.
  2. Enter blueprint name, description, and click Next.
  3. Select the Current InfoScale version and Current OS version.
    From InfoScale version 9.0.2 onwards, online YUM upgrade is supported. If you select this checkbox, the blueprint steps change according.
  4. Choose whether this is Patching or an Upgrade flow. Select Patching for a patch-level upgrade of InfoScale, while select Upgrade for the full update of InfoScale.
  5. Select the available applicable InfoScale version and target OS version.
  6. Download the RPM on any node but ensure that the path to that RPM is accessible by every node.
  7. If you selected Patching, select the required patch and download its RPM.
  8. You can also choose to upgrade the high availability agents. In such case, click on the provided link and download the RPM for the agents running on your system.
  9. In the YUM repository paths section, provide the paths for all YUM repositories where the required RPMs are downloaded. The downloaded RPMs should be part of the YUM repositories. Click Add path to add more repository paths.
    • Verify the integrity of the downloaded RPM file by checking the md5sum.
    • Create a directory named with the release and the platform.
      Example of full upgrade: 8.0.0.0000/rhel8_x86_64
      Example for Patch: 8.0.0.3100/rhel8_x86_64
    • Extract the downloaded file under the above directory by running gunzip -xvf or tar -xvf.
    • Check the directory contents. After extraction, the directory should contain an rpms folder along with other content.
      Example: 8.0.0.0000/rhel8_x86_64/rpms/...
    • Verify the YUM repository metadata by ensuring that the rpms directory contains a repodata folder. If the repodata folder is missing, create it manually by running createrepo on the rpms directory path.
    Example: createrepo /path/to/8.0.0.0000/rhel8_x86_64/rpms
    Note: Installcreaterepoon your machine if it's not installed by default.
