Upgrading IV from 6.1

Although IV supports automatic update, updating to a different version (eg. from 6.1 to 6.2/7.0) still requires upgrade steps. With IV installer, upgrading IV from 6.1 to newer version is simplified to running a later version of ansible playbook.

Upgrade Steps:

1. Backup files

   1. Configuration files

      mkdir -p /var/backup/
      cp -p /opt/intelligent-voice/.env /var/backup/
      cp -p /opt/intelligent-voice/docker-compose/*.yml /var/backup/
      cp -pr /opt/intelligent-voice/data/ssl /var/backup/

   2. IV database if necessary

      sudo bash -c "docker exec -it mariadb mysqldump -uroot -p********** --all-databases --single-transaction > /var/backup/database_full_backup_`date +%F_%H%M`.sql"

   3. old installer files

      • hosts.ini

      • files/ssl

      • generated-passwords.yaml

   4. environment-specific config files

2. Download new installer from IV portal

3. Copy configuration files from old installer to new installer

   • files/ssl

   • generated-passwords.yaml

   • hosts.ini

4. Review configuration file based on Installation Guide or README.md in the installer folder
   Some parameters may be required in newer installer

5. Run the new installer

6. Restore environment-specific config files, For example

   • docker-compose.vrx_servlet.yml for mounted file share

7. Verify the installation based on Validating the installation
