Upgrading the FUSE POSIX Client on a Linux Server

This section describes how to upgrade the FUSE POSIX client on a Linux server.

To upgrade the FUSE POSIX client on a RHEL, SUSE, or Ubuntu server, you must upgrade the mapr-posix-client-basic or mapr-posix-client-platinum package.

  1. Stop the mapr-posix-client-basic or mapr-posix-client-platinum service. For example: 
    service mapr-posix-client-basic stop
  2. Remove any currently installed client patches. For example:
    • On RHEL / CentOS: yum remove mapr-patch-posix-client-basic
    • On SUSE: zypper remove mapr-patch-posix-client-basic
    • On Ubuntu: apt-get remove mapr-patch-posix-client-basic
  3. Upgrade the mapr-posix-client-basic or mapr-posix-client-platinum package:
    • On RHEL / CentOS: yum update mapr-patch-posix-client-basic
    • On SUSE: zypper update mapr-patch-posix-client-basic
    • On Ubuntu: apt-get install mapr-patch-posix-client-basic
  4. Update the cluster configuration information in the /opt/mapr/conf/fuse.conf file: 
    vi /opt/mapr/conf/fuse.conf
  5. Copy any new parameters from fuse.conf.new to the /opt/mapr/conf/fuse.conf file.
  6. Start the FUSE POSIX service: 
    service mapr-patch-posix-client-basic start
  7. Check the status of the FUSE POSIX service: 
    service mapr-patch-posix-client-basic status
