Examples
In the following example, the command upgrades Parallels Pro Control Panel on RHEL by obtaining the necessary Parallels Pro Control Panel files from Parallels Pro's FTP server and the operating system RPMs and update RPMs, extra RPMs from a local FTP server.
python ensim-installer.py -nadmin -ppasswd - m example1@example.com
-o ftp://ftp.example.com/path/os
-u ftp://ftp.example.com/path/updates
-a ftp://ftp.example.com/path/extras
The installer performs the following tasks during the upgrade:
appldb database.appldb database.You may refer to the log file /var/log/ensim/installer.<version>.<release>-<upgrade-attempt>.log for details on the upgrade process. If you encounter problems during the upgrade, resolve the issues using the troubleshooting information.
Important: If you are upgrading Parallels Pro Control Panel using Telnet or SSH, do not disconnect the session during the upgrade. If the connection is lost for any reason, reconnect to your server and locate the message Parallels Pro Control Panel is upgraded to 10.3.3 in the file /var/log/appliance/history. The message indicates that the upgrade has successfully completed. If you are unable to locate the message, run the command, ps -ax.
If there are RPM processes active, the command will list the RPMs (running RPM processes indicate that the upgrade is in progress). Do not interrupt the upgrade. When the upgrade is complete, restart the server manually using the command: /etc/rc.d/init.d/epld restart
If you want to upgrade your operating system to another supported version, upgrade the operating system as described in the documentation of the operating system, obtain the installer that corresponds to the upgraded operating system, and run the installer again.
Important: You must re-install Parallels Pro Control Panel by running the installer again after you upgrade the operating system.
For CentOS users: Do not re-install Parallels Pro Control Panel 10.3.3 if you have already installed it before upgrading the operating system.
