Upgrading JetPatch using repository

If this is your first time updating JetPatch using repository, please follow all of the below steps.   If you configured the repository in the past, you can go directly to "Upgrade JetPatch using Live Repo"

Pre-requisites 

Internet connection to JetPatch Live repository is required.

Please make sure the following URL is whitelisted in your environment from the JetPatch manager console (over port 443): https://live-repo.jetpatch.com/

Prepare Your Server (One-time Configuration)

If you are using a server image by JetPatch (OVA, AMI, or VHD) after June 15, 2021, you can skip this step and can go directly to "Upgrade JetPatch using Live Repo", otherwise, if you have an older server image or you installed using RPMs, please follow the below steps:

To upgrade we will need to configure the YUM  repository of JetPatch.

Create JetPatch Yum repository:

1. Connect to JetPatch Server via SSH.

2. Go to directory yum.repos.d

cd /etc/yum.repos.d

3. Create Repository file configuration depending on your system version (cat /etc/os-release)to yum.repos.d

vi JetPatch-EL7.repo

insert the following configuration in the file JetPatch-EL7.repo (depending on the version of JetPatch)
