WARNING: This documentation covers Parallels H-Sphere versions up to 3.1. For the latest up-to-date Parallels H-Sphere documentation, please proceed to the
official Parallels site.
Update Wizard Concept
In H-Sphere 3.1 and up, one can perform H-Sphere software installation and update on multiple boxes
(except for the CP core and H-Sphere Windows core services)
from the administrative control panel:
- H-Sphere update to the latest version or update of particular services on selected boxes
- Adding H-Sphere servers and services: physical installation of H-Sphere software into the new boxes
previously added in admin CP as H-Sphere
physical and logical servers
Installation and update from admin CP is performed under certain conditions:
- Before you run Update Wizard to update the whole cluster to a required H-Sphere version,
you need first to update H-Sphere CP core (and H-Sphere Winbox core for Windows servers)
by downloading and running H-Sphere update script with the cpupdate option
(HSCore package for Windows servers) for this version.
- Update of particular packages and services on each box is
according to physical server profiles
- sets of update rules assigned to a group of physical servers.
Procedure
To update or install H-Sphere on selected physical servers, a uniform procedure is provided:
- Go to E.Manager -> Update -> Update Boxes:
- Check the servers you need to update/install.
- If necessary, you can get info about the box by checking boxes and clicking
the Fetch Boxes Info button.
- Click Start Update.
Update process indicator  legend:
- Yellow: ready for update
- Blue: update is running
- Green: update successfully finished
- Red: update finished with error. If update fails, you will see an error message with details.
