Upgrading WebLM by using CLI

Last Updated : Nov 10, 2022 |

About this task

Use the following procedure to upgrade WebLM manually.

Note:

When you manually upgrade WebLM without using Solution Deployment Manager, the WebLM host id changes.

Note:

For upgrading WebLM from Release 6.x to Release 10.1.2, first upgrade WebLM Release 6.x to 8.1.x, and then upgrade to WebLM Release 10.1.2. You cannot directly upgrade the Release 6.x system to Release 10.1.2 and later. If you upgrade the application directly from Release 6.3.x to Release 10.1.2, the upgrade fails.

Procedure

  1. Take the backup of the old WebLM server.

    For information about taking the backup, see Performing WebLM backup.

  2. Turn off the old WebLM server in case you are deploying WebLM by using the same IP Address.
  3. Deploy the latest WebLM Release.
  4. Apply the latest WebLM patch, if required.

    For information about applying the patch file, see Installing a WebLM patch, feature pack, or service pack.

  5. Restore the backup on the new WebLM server.

    For information about restoring the backup, see Performing WebLM restore.

  6. Generate new licenses and install on new WebLM.
  7. Ensure new WebLM is operational.
  8. Delete the old version of the WebLM server.

Next Steps

After upgrading the system:

  • Regenerate the license files because the host ID changes.

  • Recreate the users to administrate the WebLM web console, if required.
