Important

This document is intended to provide upgrading steps for the latest SCS version for Rocky Linux 8 and above. If you are planning to migrate from CentOS 7 to Rocky Linux 8, refer to Migrating Swarm Components from CentOS 7 to Rocky Linux 8.

Upgrade Notes

Complete the SCS upgrade first if upgrading both SCS and Swarm Storage simultaneously. Then add the new Swarm Storage component to the SCS repo (using scsctl repo component add ...).

Refer to the following steps to upgrade SCS:

Disable the SELinux.
1. Check if SELinux is enabled or disabled. In a default RL8 installation, it will be Enforcing. However, if it is already disabled, skip to step 2.
  getenforce
2. Disable SELinux, by editing the /etc/selinux/config file, commenting out the line SELINUX=enforcing or SELINUX=permissive, and adding the line SELINUX=disabled. Then reboot the server after saving the file.
  vi /etc/selinux/config ... #SELINUX=enforcing SELINUX=disabled ... reboot
Install the new RPM.

rpm -Uvh swarm-scs-[version].x86_64.rpm

Run the following command.
