To upgrade Oracle VM Manager:

1. Log in to the Oracle VM Manager host computer as the root user.

2. Oracle VM Manager must be running to perform the upgrade. If Oracle VM Manager is not running, start it:

   # service ovmm start

   Warning

   If you are upgrading from Oracle VM Manager Release 3.0.2 and have not restarted Oracle VM Manager since the initial installation, restart it before you continue with the upgrade to Release 3.0.3. Failure to restart Oracle VM Manager could result in incorrect undeployment of the Oracle VM Manager application during the upgrade.

3. If you downloaded the Oracle VM Manager ISO file from the Oracle Software Delivery Cloud, mount the Oracle VM Manager ISO file. This example uses the ISO file and mounts it to a directory named OVMCD.

   # mount -o loop  OracleVM-Manager-3.0.x.iso /OVMCD

   Alternatively you can burn the ISO file to a CD or DVD and load the DVD on the Oracle VM Manager host computer. If you downloaded an Oracle VM Manager patch file from My Oracle Support, extract the zip file contents to a directory on the Oracle VM Manager host computer and use that directory for further installation instructions.

4. Start the Oracle VM Manager upgrade script:

   # cd /OVMCD
   # ./runUpgrader.sh

   Note

   You cannot use the absolute path to run the runUpgrader.sh script; you must run it from the directory in which it resides. For example, the following command:

   # /OVMCD/runUpgrader.sh

   Results in the error:

   sh: upgrade: No such file or directory

   The upgrade starts and reminds you to back up Oracle VM Manager.
