NAME
pki-upgrade - Tool for upgrading system-wide PKI configuration.
SYNOPSIS
pki-upgrade [OPTIONS]
DESCRIPTION
There are two parts to upgrading PKI system: upgrading the system configuration files used by both the
client and the server processes and upgrading the server configuration files.
When upgrading PKI system, the existing system configuration files (e.g. /etc/pki/pki.conf) may need to
be upgraded because the content may have changed from one version to another. The configuration upgrade
is executed automatically during RPM upgrade. However, in case there is a problem, the process can also
be run manually using pki-upgrade.
The system upgrade process is done incrementally using upgrade scriptlets. The upgrade process and
scriptlet execution is monitored in upgrade trackers. A counter shows the latest index number for the
most recently executed scriptlet; when all scriptlets have run, the component tracker shows the updated
version number.
The upgrade scriptlets are stored in /usr/share/pki/upgrade/version/index-name. The version is the
system version to be upgraded. The index is the script execution order. The name is the scriptlet name.
During upgrade, the scriptlets will back up all changes to the filesystem into
/var/log/pki/upgrade/version/index. The version and index values indicate the scriptlet being executed.
A copy of the files and folders that are being modified or removed will be stored in oldfiles. The names
of the newly-added files and folders will be stored in newfiles.
The system upgrade process is tracked in /etc/pki/pki.version. The file stores the current configuration
version and the last successful scriptlet index.
OPTIONS
General options
--silent
Upgrade in silent mode.
--status
Show upgrade status only without performing the upgrade.
--revert
Revert the last version.
-X
Show advanced options.
-v, --verbose
Run in verbose mode.
-h, --help
Show this help message.
Advanced options
The advanced options circumvent the normal component tracking process by changing the scriptlet order or
changing the tracker information.
WARNING: These options may render the system unusable.
--scriptlet-version version
Run scriptlets for a specific version only.
--scriptlet-index index
Run a specific scriptlet only.
--remove-tracker
Remove the tracker.
--reset-tracker
Reset the tracker to match the package version.
--set-tracker version
Set the tracker to a specific version.
OPERATIONS
Interactive mode
By default, pki-upgrade will run interactively. It will ask for a confirmation before executing each
scriptlet.
$ pki-upgrade
If there is an error, it will stop and show the error.
Silent mode
The upgrade process can also be done silently without user interaction:
$ pki-upgrade --silent
If there is an error, it will stop and show the error.
Checking upgrade status
It is possible to check the status of a running upgrade process.
$ pki-upgrade --status
Troubleshooting
If there is an error, rerun the upgrade in verbose mode:
$ pki-upgrade --verbose
Check the scriptlet to see which operations are being executed. Once the error is identified and
corrected, the upgrade can be resumed by re-running pki-upgrade.
It is possible to rerun a failed script by itself, specifying the instance and subsystem, version, and
scriptlet index:
$ pki-upgrade --scriptlet-version 10.0.1 --scriptlet-index 1
Reverting an upgrade
If necessary, the upgrade can be reverted:
$ pki-upgrade --revert
Files and folders that were created by the scriptlet will be removed. Files and folders that were
modified or removed by the scriptlet will be restored.
