Filr 4.3.x need run pre-upgrade.sh when upgrade to Filr 5.0 ?

Hi 

   I try to upgrade my filr 4.3.x to upgrade filr 5.0...I check page 122/188 the procedure...it show step -B seem need run the pre-uprade.sh...But it show on the Filr 3.4.x appliance.

whether thid document provide incorrect information...it shoule be on the filr 4.3.x appliance ==> I need run the pre-upgrade.sh on the Filr 4.3.x appliance.

Correct ?

    Hello Wencheng,

    I saw the same in the upgrade overview. But not in the text below. But as far as I can see there is no pre-upgrade script on the Filr 4 appliance, nor in the download section of the portal. So I think this image was a copy-paste from the upgrade from Filr3 -> 4 and is no longer necessary for the upgrade from Filr4 -> 5

    HI

        My filr 4.3.1.2 is upgraded from filr3.x...now  I will upgrade it to filr 5.0

    I simple verify upgrade again.

    1. shutdown filr4.3.1.2 server.

    2. deploy filr 5.0 

    3. move the data disk of filr 4.3.1.2 server to filr5.x server as datadisk. I also add new disk as log disk.

    4. then boot filr 5.0 appliance

    5. I type need information on  configuration page...then it reboot ....it keep this status 

    which step I miss ?

    I don't think you missed any steps.  However, how long did you wait at the screen you shared?  In my lab, I saw the same issue but after several minutes it changed from:

    to

    and from there it took several more minutes before seeing:

    Yes...you are right.

    I wait about 5 mins...I could switch another terimal console (Alt+F2) to see the top information..but it seem no any high usuage process. then about 7-10 mins...it indeed run the later procedure...the prompt show well..

    I could login success an update the new filr 5.0 license.

    I think the message need modify to let engineer could wait ..not like me think whether the old filr disk has some problem to cause hang.

    I was upgrading last night and ran into the same issue.Except it was hours and not minutes.
    When i checked which processes where running i noticed a "chown wwwrun:www -R /vashare/filr" was running.

    There are a couple of hundred thousand files on a NFS share.

    Would be useful with some verbosity about what is going on during upgrade.

    During my first upgrade to FiLR 5 I stopped at this point and try it again ... same issue. I got some coffee and search the i-Net about a hint ... and that see in the corner of my eyes that the upgrade came to the successful end.

    I was a little bit pissed ... a simple "please wait ..." were helpful!

    From my POV nobody at MF/OT checks what they release.
