Run the tpm command to update the software with the Staging-based configuration:

shell> ./tools/tpm update --no-connectors

For information about making updates when using a Staging-method deployment, please see Section 10.3.7, “Configuration Changes from a Staging Directory”.

shell> vi /etc/tungsten/tungsten.ini

Run the tpm command to update the software with the INI-based configuration:

shell> tpm query staging
tungsten@db1:/opt/continuent/software/tungsten-clustering-6.1.25-6

shell> echo The staging DIRECTORY is `tpm query staging| cut -d: -f2`
The staging DIRECTORY is /opt/continuent/software/tungsten-clustering-6.1.25-6

shell> cd {STAGING_DIRECTORY}

shell> ./tools/tpm update --no-connectors

For information about making updates when using an INI file, please see Section 10.4.4, “Configuration Changes with an INI file”.

Using the --no-connectors option updates the current deployment without restarting the existing connectors.

Once the update process has been completed, the current status will be displayed using cctrl. The current configuration of the cluster can be verified by using the cluster validate command within cctrl.
