In this section we will upgrade 4.0 to 4.2. For that we have to disable the monitoring during the upgrade. From 4.2 we can upgrade to 4.3 without downtime, but since it is 4.0 we need downtime.

https://docs.opsmanager.mongodb.com/current/tutorial/upgrade-ops-manager/

We have to prepare first, as so:

• Backup the config files
• Upload the new Software

Of course we need the backup the old configuration before changing anything.

Be sure to configure the following directories:

• <install_dir>/conf
• <install_dir>/logs

That will provide you the configuration files and the log files. You can backup the whole directory as follows:

[root@dbpafxjrl ~]# rpm -qa | grep -i mongo
mongodb-mms-automation-agent-manager-5.4.17.5525-1.x86_64
mongodb-enterprise-server-4.0.6-1.el7.x86_64
mongodb-enterprise-mongos-4.0.6-1.el7.x86_64
mongodb-enterprise-tools-4.0.6-1.el7.x86_64
mongodb-mms-4.0.9.50422.20190307T1523Z-1.x86_64
mongodb-enterprise-shell-4.0.6-1.el7.x86_64
[root@dbpafxjrl ~]# rpm -ql mongodb-mms-4.0.9.50422.20190307T1523Z-1.x86_64
/opt/mongodb/mms

We see that Mongo is installed from RPM in: “/opt/mongodb/mms”

Let's backup the whole folder:

[root@dbpafxjrl mongodb]# tar cvf /data/backup/mms.backup.tar /opt/mongodb/mms/
mms/
mms/MMS-MONGODB-MIB.txt
mms/README
mms/THIRD-PARTY-NOTICES
mms/VERSION
mms/agent/
mms/agent/automation/
******************************************

Once we have a backup, let's continue with the upgrade

The binaries can be downloaded from the link above or from |here. After you download the RPM, upload it to the software location on the server where you want to install it.

We have to stop the MongoOps manager as follows:

[root@dbpafxjrl ~]# /opt/mongodb/mms/bin/mongodb-mms stop
Stop Ops Manager server
   Instance 0 stopping
      Trying graceful shutdown..[  OK  ]
Stop Backup Daemon.........[  OK  ]
[root@dbpafxjrl ~]#

We can install the RPM as follows:

[root@dbpafxjrl ~]# rpm -Uvh --test mongodb-mms-4.2.14.56911.20200603T2241Z-1.x86_64.rpm

Once we are done, we can start it again:

[root@dbpafxjrl conf]# /opt/mongodb/mms/bin/mongodb-mms start
