Upgrading JetPatch using repository (live repo)

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 (initial configuration or when changing major versions)

If you are using a server image by JetPatch (OVA, AMI, or VHD), you can skip this step and can go directly to "Upgrade JetPatch using Live Repo", otherwise, if you have 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

Note: RHEL, Oracle Linux, AlmaLinux, and Rocky Linux 9.x are fully compatible with the EL8 RPM packages, so the EL8 repository can be safely used by following the instructions below. 

-RHEL/OL/Alma/Rocky JetPatch-EL8.repo

vi JetPatch-EL8.repo

insert the following configuration in the file JetPatch-EL8.repo

Upgrade to JetPatch 4.2.8:

Before the Upgrade

See KC

1. Check if you see JetPatch-Live-Repo in yum

yum repolist

Output to check for:

JetPatch-Live-Repo JetPath-Live-Repo 

If this is missing, please see the above configuration steps

2. Install the lastest version of JetPatch (you must be in a directory that has no files that contain intigua in it, normally /tmp does not have intigua RPMs in it):

yum install intigua-*
