Ways to reinstall Prime Infrastructure without a rehost?

Admin Eastland

I have Pi 2.2, and I would like to somehow reinstall it without having to do a rehost on the license.

 

Are there any options? dbreinit is not an option for me.

 

 

Thank you

Hello Admin Eastland,

 

To what Prime version do you want to upgrade to?

You cant go from 2.2 to 3.5/3.6 directly. The path would look something like this:

2.2 -> 3.0 -> 3.1 -> 3.5 -> 3.6

I would wait with 3.6 until a patch or two have been released. 

 

I suggest letting the 2.2 installation stay as long as possible before shutting down that one down to verify functionality. 

One way to do this is to do a full backup of 2.2. Install a new 3.0 VM with a different IP and import the backup. Do a full backup and import to a 3.1 VM, Full backup and import to 3.4 and one more to get to 3.6.

 

You could also do steps with inline upgrades but I have had some bad experiances with corrupted databases that way.

 

Check each version for installation steps so you know how to do backups/imports and upgrades.
