Chapter 9. Upgrading Red Hat Gluster Storage Console

This section covers both updating your Red Hat Gluster Storage Console environment between minor releases, and upgrading to the next major version. Always update to the latest minor version of your current Red Hat Gluster Storage Console version before you upgrade to the next major version.
Upgrading Red Hat Gluster Storage Console involves three main steps:
  • Configuring channels and entitlements.
  • Updating the required packages.
  • Performing the upgrade.
The command used to perform the upgrade is rhsc-setup, which provides an interactive interface. While the upgrade is in process, Red Hat Gluster Storage hosts continue to operate independently. When the upgrade is complete, you can then upgrade your hosts to the latest versions of Red Hat Gluster Storage.
