Upgrade

Upgrading the Glasswall Halo OVA​

Follow the steps below to upgrade your Glasswall Halo OVA while preserving MongoDB data.

1. Back up MongoDB data​

First, create a MongoDB backup using mongodump.

kubectl port-forward svc/mongo-svc 27017

Open another terminal on the VM and run:

username=$(kubectl get secret mongodb-cdrplatform-cdrp-user -o json | jq -r '.data.username' | base64 -d)
password=$(kubectl get secret mongodb-cdrplatform-cdrp-user -o json | jq -r '.data.password' | base64 -d)

mongodump \
  --host localhost \
  --port 27017 \
  --db cdrplatform \
  --out halo_backup \
  -u "${username}" \
  -p "${password}"

zip -r halo_backup.zip halo_backup

2. Copy the backup to a local machine​

scp glasswall@<ip-of-the-old-vm>:~/halo_backup.zip ./halo_backup.zip

3. Deploy a new VM​

Create a new virtual machine using the latest OVA or VHD by following the VMware or Hyper-V deployment guide.

4. Copy the backup to the new VM​

scp ./halo_backup.zip glasswall@<ip-of-the-new-vm>:~/

5. Restore MongoDB data on the new VM​

kubectl port-forward svc/mongo-svc 27017

Open another terminal on the VM and run:

unzip halo_backup.zip

username=$(kubectl get secret mongodb-cdrplatform-cdrp-user -o json | jq -r '.data.username' | base64 -d)
password=$(kubectl get secret mongodb-cdrplatform-cdrp-user -o json | jq -r '.data.password' | base64 -d)

mongorestore \
  --host localhost \
  --port 27017 \
  --authenticationMechanism SCRAM-SHA-256 \
  --authenticationDatabase cdrplatform \
  -u "${username}" \
  -p "${password}" \
  halo_backup

6. Clean up backup files​

rm -rf halo_backup halo_backup.zip
