You can upgrade core without using the Installer.
First, you perform an offline or rolling upgrade of the data-fabric core manually. Next, you configure the new version to
enable support of data-fabric core
features. Finally, you upgrade ecosystem components manually.
When upgrading, you can install packages from the following sources:
- The data-fabric Internet
repository
- A local repository
- Individual package files
Go to the next topic to begin setting up repositories.
When you are finished upgrading core, you will need to follow
the steps to upgrade the ecosystem components, as described in
Upgrading the Ecosystem Pack Without the MapR Installer.
Note: MapR 6.0 and later
releases are only compatible with
MEP 4.0.0 and
later
MEPs (see
MEP Support by
MapR Core Version). If you upgrade MapR core to MapR 6.0 or later, you must install
or upgrade to
MEP 4.0.0 or later. Clusters with
MEP 3.0.1 or later are allowed to upgrade to
MapR 6.0 or later, but such clusters must not enable new features, add new services, add new
nodes, or make configuration changes until
MEP
3.0.1 or later is upgraded to
MEP 4.0.0 or
later.
Then proceed to Finishing the Core Upgrade.
