Upgrade Falcon

  1. Stop the Falcon server and (if installed) the Prism server:

    su - falcon -c "/usr/hdp/current/falcon-server/bin/falcon-stop"

    su - falcon -c "/usr/hdp/current/falcon-server/bin/prism-stop"

  2. Switch to the new Falcon version and start the server:

    hdp-select set falcon-server 2.2.9.0-$BUILD

    hdp-select set falcon-client 2.2.9.0-$BUILD

  3. Start the new Falcon server and (if installed) the Prism server:

    su - falcon -c "/usr/hdp/current/falcon-server/bin/falcon-start"

    su - falcon -c "/usr/hdp/current/falcon-server/bin/prism-start"

  4. Check the status of the new server. The following command should return status and port number:

    su - falcon ./bin/falcon-status

  5. Run the Falcon smoke tests:

    su - falcon "/usr/lib/falcon/bin/falcon admin -version"

    Github >> ruCommon.py certification/HDTEsts/beaver/components/falcon/

See Appendix A for more information about smoke tests.

If the upgrade process fails, follow the steps in Downgrading the Cluster, starting with "Downgrade non-core cluster components." Otherwise, continue with the next upgrade step.
