Steps to In-place Upgrade HCL Domino on CentOS 7.7.x or CentOS 8.x to the newest FP1.
Notes:
- Linux server OS is CentOS 7.7. Both Domino and LInux are 64-bit, of course. Also, performed these steps on CentOS 8.
- The existing start-up script is the Nashed one. It's a few years old, but still worked, so we didn't replace it with the newest one.
- A full step-by-step for new install CentOS 7.7 is also available in this support app titled: HCL Domino 11 on CentOS 7.6 / CentOS 7.7 Step-by-Step Swing Upgrade / Installation
- This server has been swung since R5. Although the paths were updated around Domino 8.5, they have not been updated since. Therefore, the binaries path is still /opt/IBM/domino instead of /opt/HCL/domino.
- Just in case needed, we have the full Domino 11.0.1 installation extracted and available in the /home/myadmin/Downloads/dom1101/
In-Place Domino Upgrade:
1. Using Filezilla, copy the install file to the server in the server's downloads folder.
--> Domino_1101FP1_Linux.tar --> /home/myadmin/Downloads/Domino_1101FP1_Linux.tar
2. Start SSH Terminal to server. View and extract files.
$ ssh myadmin@mydomserver.mindwatering.com
<enter password>
$ cd /home/myadmin/Downloads/
$ sudo su
<password>
$ pwd
/home/myadmin/Downloads/dom11/
$ ls *.tar
Domino_1101FP1_Linux.tar
# tar -xvf Domino_1101FP1_Linux.tar
<watched files extracted>
Rename the folder as desired.
# mv linux64/ dom1101fp1/
# ls
drwxrwxr-x 3 root root 21 May 29 19:25 dom1101
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 20 Jul 20 06:36 dom1101FP1
3. Perform the installation.
# systemctl stop domino.service
<waited>
$ systemctl status domino.service
... Domino for xLinux (notes) shutdown completed
<ctl + c>
# cd dom1101FP1
# NUI_NOTESDIR=/opt/ibm/domino
# export NUI_NOTESDIR
# ./install
<go through the prompts>
Note:
- The steps/questions are the same. But the navigation is a bit different as the new installation program is InstallAnywhere. Click <tab> to accept a setting, and you have to use "0" to get to the end of the license fine print page.
> TAB to continue at Welcome screen
> TAB to continue to License page. Click any keyboard button to get to second page.
> TAB to continue to License acceptance page. Click Tab to keep <yes> answer and continue.
On the installation page, you should see this:
Installation settings:
Program directory : /opt/ibm/domino
Data directory : /local/notesdata
UNIX user : notes
UNIX group : notes
11000100 upgrade to 1101FP1
> TAB to continue and perform installation update
4. OPTIONAL - Perform a manual run, just in case there is a question to answer.
(There isn't a Directory upgrade with this FP, but we do it just-in-case every time.)
# su notes
$ cd /local/notesdata
$ /opt/ibm/domino/bin/server
<We watch the server startup and run for a few minutes. Enter a q to quit and return to the OS prompt.>
$ exit
5. Start the Domino service
# systemctl start domino
# systemctl status domino
