Upgrading an instance
This section shows you how to use setup to upgrade Bravura Security Fabric, or apply a patch provided to you by Bravura Security support.
Unless specified, "upgrade" can also refer to a patch in the following instructions.
Warning
Using setup to perform patches is simple; however, proper research, analysis, and planning are required to ensure that it works. This should be carried out by someone familiar with deploying Bravura Security Fabric . Contact support@bravurasecurity.com for assistance.
If using command line, the installer will restart services once it completes, as there's no way to pause the setup. In this case, remember to manually stop services if required (as stated in the playbooks).
Caution
In cases where your instance contains data or schema customizations the installer does not expect, and setup rolls back the installation. You may have to perform a version migration process.
It is strongly recommended that you work with Bravura Security professional services in these cases. Contact your account manager to arrange this.
Caution
If upgrade attempts fail for any reason, do not continue the process, because a failed upgrade may leave the instance in an unknown state. Instead, collect the relevant upgrade data, rollback the VM, fix the original issue (with the help of Support if needed) and then run the installer again to upgrade. Check the troubleshooting section ahead of time.
